Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries this started out as 8 ounces of whole berries with tops, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar divided. Or 5 Tablespoons Allulose sweetener.
- 1 Tablespoon Cointreau or vodka
- ¼ cup golden syrup in theory you should be able to use Karo syrup, but I haven’t tested this, Lyle’s brand
- ½ cup milk 2%
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 Tablespoon nonfat dry milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon guar gum optional but recommended
Instructions
- Remove a couple berries, chop them into whatever size pieces you want in your ice cream (smaller is probably better since big pieces may get quite hard) and mix with 1 Tablespoon sugar and the Cointreau or vodka. Set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients: guar gum (if using), the remaining sugar, nonfat dry milk and salt. Set aside
- In a high speed blender, process the milk, cream, Golden Syrup, remaining strawberries (those not mixed with sugar and Cointreau) until the strawberries are well broken up.
- Add the dry ingredients and blend until well mixed.
- Stir in the reserved strawberry sugar mixture.
- Freeze according to your freezer’s directions. When done transfer ice cream to your freezer to firm up overnight (after snitching a few tastes).
