Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds fresh strawberries
  • ¾ cup sugar plus 2 tblsp.
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 10 egg yolks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, hull, and chop the strawberries. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle over the two tablespoons of sugar. Toss to distribute the sugar throughout the berries and set aside until needed.
  2. Add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean (split down the middle) to a heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring the cream and milk mixture nearly to a boil over medium-high heat. Take the pan off the heat and leave it to infuse with the vanilla bean for 20 minutes.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks with the 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl until the yolks are thickened and pale yellow in color. Remove the vanilla bean from the milk and cream mixture and gradually pour the mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Pour the combined mixture back into the pan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  4. Crush or blend the strawberries and pour into the cooled cream/milk/egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. If using an ice cream maker or churn, place the mixture in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled (overnight is best). Pour into a prepared ice cream churn and process according to the manufacturer’s directions.
  6. The mixture may also be frozen in a large plastic container. Creamy and rich, Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is an old-fashioned summer time treat! Remove from the freezer every 2-3 hours and beat with an electric mixer or in a food processor (this prevents ice crystals from forming). Repeat 3 or 4 times or until the ice cream is frozen.
