Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe
Description
This Strawberry Ice Cream starts with heating heavy cream, whole milk, cornstarch, and agave nectar gently on the stove. The mixture is whisked constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, providing a custard-like base without eggs. After cooling in an ice water bath, fresh strawberries are pureed and strained to remove seeds, ensuring smooth texture in the finished ice cream.
The cooled cream mixture is blended with the strawberry puree and refrigerated for at least two hours before churning in an ice cream maker. This chilling allows flavors to combine and the mixture to thicken. The ice cream is further frozen in an airtight container to set fully before serving.
The final product delivers creamy strawberry flavor with a smooth texture, balancing the freshness of fruit with sweetened, thickened dairy. Allowing the ice cream to sit at room temperature briefly before scooping makes serving easier.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup milk whole
- 1 tbs cornstarch
- 1/2 cup agave nectar or honey
- 2 1/2 cups strawberries sliced
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat cream, milk, cornstarch and agave on medium-low heat until bubbly and thickened slightly, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, place the pot with hot mixture into a large bowl filled with ice water and whisk it constantly until cool to the touch.
- Place strawberries in a blender and puree for about two minutes until completely smooth. Push mixture through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl to remove seeds and discard them. If you don't mind the seeds, you can omit this step.
- Once the cream mixture is cooled down, whisk in strawberry puree until fully incorporated. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill for two hours. Pour mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20-30 minutes or so. Pour into an airtight container and freeze 4-6 hours or overnight. Allow ice cream to set out for a few minutes before scooping.
