STRAWBERRY ICE-CREAM
This delicious creamy strawberry ice-cream is perfect on a hot day and can be served with fresh fruit, chocolate
sauce, crushed meringue or over your favourite warm pudding. The strawberries can easily be substituted for any of
the bounty of fresh produce in season.
• 450g strawberries, washed, with
tops cut off and quartered
• 250ml milk
• 250ml white sugar
• 5ml vanilla extract or 1 vanilla pod
• 500ml cream
1. Place your strawberries in a food
processor and whizz until you
have a puree. To get perfectly
smooth puree, be sure to scrape
down any chunks and give them
another whizz.
2. Bring the milk to the boil. If you
are using a vanilla pod, place it in
the milk before you boil to infuse
it with that fragrant scent.
3. Take the milk off the heat, add
sugar and give a gentle stir until
the sugar has dissolved.
4. Add the cream to the infused milk.
5. Turn your processor back on and
slowly pour the cream into the
mixture. Leaving the processor on
at this point aerates the ice-cream
mixture.
6. Place a small glass bowl inside a
larger glass bowl filled with ice
water to create an ice bath.
7. Pour your ice cream into the
smaller glass bowl and leave it for
30 minutes until it cools below
room temperature. You will know
it’s ready when all the ice blocks
are melted.
8. Once your mixture has cooled,
pour it into a metal container (I like
cake tins). You can also add fresh
fruit, caramel, chocolate sauce,
nuts and any other sweet treats at
this point. It’s important to use a
metal container, as this will help
your ice-cream set quickly.
9. Cover your metal dish in tinfoil
and pop it in the freezer overnight.
10. Serve with mint, fresh
strawberries or any other
condiments your heart desires.
