📝 Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt
🍨 Instructions
1. Macerate the Strawberries
In a bowl, mix the strawberries with half of the sugar and the lemon juice. Let sit for 30 minutes to release their juices.
2. Blend
Puree the strawberries until smooth. Set aside.
3. Heat the Base
In a saucepan, combine the milk and remaining sugar. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not boil).
4. Temper the Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add the hot milk to the yolks while whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir over low heat until it thickens slightly—coating the back of a spoon.
5. Cool It Down
Remove from heat. Stir in the cream, vanilla, salt, and strawberry puree. Let the mixture cool completely in the fridge (at least 4 hours or overnight).
6. Freeze Without a Machine
Pour the mixture into a shallow pan. Freeze for 45 minutes. Stir vigorously to break up crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours until smooth and scoopable.
