Indulge in the delightful combination of fresh strawberries and creamy vanilla with this luscious strawberries & cream ice-cream recipe. Perfect for a hot summer day or a sweet treat anytime, this dessert is sure to satisfy your taste buds with its rich and fruity flavors.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Hull and quarter the strawberries.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites if you haven't done so already.
- In a medium saucepan, add the strawberries and cook over medium heat until they begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- For a smoother consistency, mash the strawberries with a fork or use an immersion blender.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the egg yolks to the cream mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to avoid curdling, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
- Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Add the cooked strawberries to the custard and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker.
- Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container.
- Freeze for an additional 2-4 hours, or until it reaches your desired firmness.
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones.
- Enjoy your homemade strawberries & cream ice cream!
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill the ice-cream mixture for at least an hour before churning to ensure a smooth texture.
- If you don’t have an ice-cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for a few hours until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- For an extra twist, add in some chocolate chips or a swirl of strawberry jam to the ice-cream mixture before freezing.
- Make sure your heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping; it will whip up faster and create a better texture.
Enjoy your homemade strawberries & cream ice-cream as a delicious treat to cool off during warm weather or as a sweet dessert after a meal. This recipe showcases the perfect balance of tangy strawberries and smooth cream, making it a family favorite.
