Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Give them a gentle pat-down with a towel to remove excess water.

Place the fruit in a bowl and sprinkle the sugar over it. Gently stir the fruit and sugar together until the fruit is well-coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge overnight. 

The next day, pour the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and macerated strawberries into a blender. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take about 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is frozen and has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. 

Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it freeze for at least four hours or overnight.

When you're ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
