There’s nothing more all-American than homemade ice cream on the 4th of July—especially when it’s packed with fresh strawberries and made with love. Whether you’re hosting a backyard celebration, heading to a community fireworks show, or thinking about buying or selling a home this summer, Laurie Rodriguez is here to serve up something sweet for your tastebuds and your future.


🍦Laurie’s Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream


Ingredients:


  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions:


  1. In a bowl, mix strawberries with ¼ cup sugar. Let sit for 30 minutes, then mash gently with a fork.

  2. In another bowl, whisk together cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla, and salt.

  3. Add strawberry mixture and stir to combine.

  4. Pour into ice cream maker and churn per manufacturer’s instructions.

  5. Freeze for 2+ hours before serving—or scoop it straight out for a soft-serve treat!


❤️ Optional: Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and an American flag toothpick for festive flair!


🧨 Real Estate Tips for July Events & Summer Moves


1. Use Holiday Weekends to Show Off Your Home - Open houses around the 4th give potential buyers a chance to see your neighborhood in full celebration mode. Curb appeal and community pride go hand-in-hand!

2. Highlight Outdoor Living Spaces - Stage patios with string lights, colorful pillows, and picnic tables. Show buyers how fun summer can be in your space.

3. Market with Summer-Themed Materials - From ice cream socials to BBQs, real estate events with seasonal flair draw attention. Laurie knows how to make your listing pop—even in the summer heat.
