An ice cream maker is all you need to produce this creamy ice cream. It leaves store-bought ice cream in the shade!
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 punnet of Piñata strawberries
- 1/3 cup sugar for strawberry mix
- 3/4 cup sugar for ice cream base
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- 500ml thickened cream
- 1 cup milk
Preparation Instructions
- Carefully rinse strawberries in cold water. Dry thoroughly with paper towel and hull. It is important that the strawberries are very dry, otherwise ice cream will be more icy than creamy. Set 1/3 cup aside for adding later.
- In a bowl, combine remaining strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for one hour minimum.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy. Slowly whisk in 3/4 cup sugar until combined. Whisk in cream and milk until mixed.
- Remove strawberries from fridge and purée with a hand blender. Mix into ice cream base.
- Churn ice cream in ice cream maker, according to manufacturer’s instructions. While churning, mash remaining strawberries and drain juice well.
- When churning has finished, fold in strawberry chunks.
- Freeze overnight before serving.
Tip: Serve by the scoop in a glass, in crunchy cones, or on toasted store-bought waffles.
