In a bowl, combine chopped strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let sit for 30 minutes until juices are released, then mash slightly or blend for a smoother texture.
In another bowl, mix the remaining sugar, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the strawberry mixture to the cream mixture and stir to combine.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20–25 minutes).
Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours for a firmer texture.
Serve and enjoy!

Use very ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
For a chunkier texture, reserve some chopped strawberries and stir in after churning.
Adjust sweetness to taste based on the ripeness of your berries.
