🍦🍨 Happy National Ice Cream Day!🍦🍨 Enjoy this Supreme Strawberry Recipe!
(Fresh and frozen strawberries can be used in this homemade ice cream recipe. Simply thaw fruit first to make smashing easier.)
Ingredients
For strawberry mixture:
1 1/2 cups strawberry halves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
For ice cream:
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
Smash the strawberry halves with a masher or pastry cutter until only small pieces remain. Then stir in the brown sugar and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and salt until well mixed and aerated. Next, in a double boiler pan directly on the burner, scald the milk. Once scalded, temper the egg mixture by adding the milk slowly while stirring constantly.
Return new mixture to the double boiler pan, and place it atop the double boiler base with simmering water. Stir constantly until slightly thickened, remove from heat and cool.
Once the custard base is cooled, beat the cream and vanilla until aerated. Then add the custard base and continue to beat until well combined.
Place into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is just starting to firm up, add the strawberry mixture and continue until finished.
