Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the halved strawberries, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices and to enhance the sweetness.

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium heat.

      Grill the Strawberries: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated strawberries on skewers or directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

        Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form.

          Mix in the Grilled Strawberries: Once the strawberries are cool, chop them into smaller pieces. Gently fold the grilled strawberries (reserve a few for garnish) into the whipped cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

            Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and smooth the top. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.

              Serve: Once the ice cream is fully set, scoop it into bowls. Garnish with the reserved grilled strawberries and fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Dig in and savor the unique combination of creamy ice cream with the smoky sweetness of grilled strawberries!
