If you haven't roasted strawberries before, this is a great time to try it! Creamy strawberry ice cream made with roasted berries is a treat like nothing you can buy at the stores.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rinse the strawberries and pat dry on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Slice the larger berries and halve any smaller ones, creating pieces that are all approximately the same size.
Place the berries on the dry baking sheet and drizzle with syrup. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and stir, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
To Make the Ice Cream
Place the roasted strawberries and all the juices in the blender. Add the milk and blend until smooth.
Add the cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla to the blender. Pulse to combine. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until well-chilled.
Pour the cold mixture into the ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. When finished, serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream or transfer to an airtight container and place into the freezer until ready to serve.
