Equipment

  • ice cream churner
  • immersion blender with chopping bowl attachment or food processor
  • double boiler (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250mls) whole milk
  • 4 egg yokes from large eggs, 2oz or 55gms each.
  • ½ cup (110gms) white sugar for base
  • 1 cup (250mls) thickened cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • ½ tablespoon (15gms) glucose syrup
  • 1.1 lbs (500gms) very ripe strawberries
  • ¼ cup (55gms) white sugar for strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Mix milk to a small saucepan.  Simmer until warm, but don’t boil.
  • Beat egg yolks and ½ cup sugar together until pale.
  • Slowly mix milk and cream mix into sugar and egg yolk mix, stirring properly in between,
  • Put mix back into saucepan or double boiler.  Add cream, vanilla and glucose syrup if using.
  • Slowly simmer, mixing regularly, until mix ‘coats the back of a spoon’.  Watch carefully or it will curdle.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool, before transfering to a heat proof container. Cover and chill in fridge.
  • Hull strawberries and blitz.  Strain and add to pan with ¼ cup sugar.  Simmer on a low heat, stiring reguarly until you have about 1 and ½ cups (400mls).
  • Remove from heat. Add lemon juice to stawberry mix and stir well.
  • Transfer to base in heat proof container. Cover and chill in fridge.
  • Put your storage container in the freezer to chill. If using a self refrigerating ice cream churner switch on about ten minutes before churning, otherwise take the churning bowl out of the freezer right before churning.
  • Churn the ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done.
  • Transfer to pre chilled container. Cover and freeze for about four hours untill firm, or over night.
  • To serve remove from freezer, scoop and enjoy! If you have not added the glucose syrup you may need to leave it on the bench for a few minutes to soften up before scooping.
