Indulge in irresistible homemade strawberry ice cream.
Ingredients:
  • 750ml (3 cups) thickened cream
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 140g (2/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 250g chopped ripe strawberries
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
Instructions:
  • Place the 1.25L (5-cup) metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill. In a saucepan, combine the cream and vanilla essence and bring to a boil. Let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar vigorously until pale and thick, creating a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted. This incorporates air for a fluffy texture. Slowly whisk in the cream mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a spotless saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring continually with a flat-edged wooden spoon for 20 minutes or until the custard coats the back of the spoon and leaves a trace when you swipe your finger through it.
  • Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl, cover the custard with plastic wrap to avoid a skin, and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for 2 hours until chilled.
  • Transfer the chilled custard into the loaf pan and cover with foil before placing it in the freezer for at least 6 hours until nearly set. Roughly break up the ice-cream using a metal spoon, then transfer it to a large bowl.
  • In a bowl, mix strawberries with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. Let it sit for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to macerate. Blend with a stick blender until almost smooth.
  • Beat the strawberry puree into the half-frozen ice-cream using an electric beater for 3 minutes until smooth and pale, breaking up the ice crystals for a silky texture. Return mixture to the loaf pan, cover with foil, and freeze for 4 hours until firm.
