Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

MAKES 1 QUART

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided use)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup strawberries (hulled and roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Set up and pre-chill ice cream maker.
  2. To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Once sugar dissolves, remove saucepan from heat and set aside.
  3. In a medium, heat-proof bowl, whisk to combine egg yolks, cream, and salt.
  4. Slowly add half the hot milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer bowl's contents back to saucepan. Place over medium-low heat.
  5. Cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickens and reaches 175-180°F, about 5 minutes. Do not allow custard to boil. Strain hot custard through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Whisk in vanilla. Cool over an ice bath and refrigerate until cold.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice. Lightly mash with a potato masher and refrigerate until cold.
  7. Add cold strawberries and any accumulated juice to the chilled ice cream base; stir. Place mixture in ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.
