Ingredients

The following ingredients have 500 Servings
  • 150 ml Cream
  • 150 ml Milk
  • 85 g Sugar
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 200 g Strawberries

Instruction

  • Blend the fruit with 10g of the caster sugar until you have a smooth puree. If you’re not a fan of bits, strain out any remaining pips, and pop to one side.
  • Next, whisk (by hand) the egg yolks with the remaining 75g of the sugar until it is thick, creamy and a pale yellow. Again, place this to one side.
  • Next, in a pan, gently heat the milk and cream stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it begins to thicken.
  • This will take roughly 5 mins and you will feel it start to drag/stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • When you feel it thicken remove the pan from the heat and add the egg/sugar mix to the cream/milk mixture.
  • Stir it until it has thoroughly combined and place back on the heat for roughly another 5mins until it begins to thicken again.
  • Be very careful, you do not want the eggs to cook!
  • Lastly, remove the pan from the heat again and stir in the fruit puree.
  • Pour this into a jug and leave to cool. This can be placed in the fridge to quicken the process.
  • Once it has cooled down remove your ice-cream machine or container from the freezer.
  • If you have an ice-cream machine you now need to refer to your manufacturer’s instructions!
  • If you don’t have an ice-cream machine, pour the cream mix into your container then place in the freezer (uncovered) for half an hour.
  • Once the half hour is up remove it and stir.
  • Put it back in for another 30mins and then repeat the stirring/putting in the freezer process until it has completely frozen!
  • Serve with some fresh fruit, or so naughty chocolate sauce.
