1. Prepare the strawberries: Mash half of the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.

2. Make the mixture: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the mashed strawberries and the remaining strawberry chunks.

3. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours to prevent ice crystals.

4. Serve and enjoy: Once firm, scoop into bowls and garnish with fresh strawberries. Enjoy this delicious and creamy homemade ice cream!
