We all know how good strawberries and cream are together, so what's better than a scoop or two of strawberry ice cream....perhaps homemade strawberry ice cream.
Or even a homemade strawberry ice cream drizzled with a luxurious chocolate sauce!
I can imagine that it'd be amazing accompanying our strawberry & basil upside down cake.
As well as being the perfect centre for a strawberry baked Alaska!
Strawberry ice cream is really easy to make with a handful of everyday ingredients. We're just talking of eggs, milk, cream, sugar and of course strawberries! There's no fancy unpronounceable ingredients, or those referenced with an E-number, in homemade ice cream.
And of course by making your own ice cream you're able to custom it to
your own preferences. If you like to see chunks of strawberries in your
strawberry ice cream - consider it done. Likewise, blitz the
strawberries for longer if you fancy it completely smooth.
Ice cream is perfect for those hot summer days. And of course any left
overs can be kept in the freezer for another day - though of course when
homemade ice cream tastes as good as this it wont hang around for long!
So, here's how to make Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
print recipe
days. It's packed with seasonal strawberries, and is perfect enjoyed
on its own, drizzled with chocolate sauce, or even served alongside
other desserts!
Hands on time: 20 mins + chilling & freezing time. Yield: c800ml, serves 4 - 6 people
Specific Equipment
Ice cream maker or electric beaters
- 5 Egg Yolks
- 300ml Double Cream
- 300ml Whole Milk
- 180g Caster Sugar
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 350g Strawberries
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 3 tsp Lemon Juice
Notes: a) If you don't have an ice cream maker don't be put off making your own homemade ice cream. Once the strawberry custard is mixed (step 6) pour into a suitable freezer safe container. Freeze for an hour. Remove from the freezer and beat with electric beater to breakdown the sugar crystals. Repeat this hourly freezing and beating process for three or four hours. b) Blend the strawberries to your preference. You may prefer to have some strawberry chunks in your ice cream, or you may prefer it completely smooth.

Oh this looks incredible Angela! I love how you've managed to get that beautiful drizzling chocolate shot too. I do think it's so worth it to make your own ice cream, especially strawberry as shop-bought never tastes quite right. Time for me to dig my ice cream maker out too I think! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice

Aw thankyou Corina 🙂 A little bit of a chocolate drizzle always manages to seal the enticement doesn't it! And ou're so right shop bought strawberry ice cream definitely never does taste quite right. Looking forward to seeing what ice cream you make 🙂

Oh wow, Angela - this ice cream looks utterly wonderful...I would be licking the bowl out if you served it to me! And your photos are once again, just gorgeous! And do I spy a Capture by Lucy background...looks fab in these photos - hope you are liking it! (lovely and easy to lick off, I mean wipe clean, those ice cream drips, eh?) Eb x

Aw thankyou Eb 🙂 I definitely agree an ice cream bowl definitely deserves to be licked 'clean' 😀 You are right, it is a Capture by Lucy. I just bought the one to see if I liked it - and I LOVE it! So easy to store, wipe clean (or should that be lick clean ;-)) and a reasonable price too and well as looking gorgeous in the shots! I think the only thing which was a slight negative, like you mentioned in our DM, was the slight curl at the corners. I just tacked it down with tape because although it would be perfectly fine for an over head it would possibly be noticeable on a face on angle similar to these shots.
Thanks for your lovely comments Eb,

Angela, this looks and sounds absolutely stunning. Homemade strawberry ice cream is SO much nicer than shop bought. I can't wait for that Baked Alaska recipe either!
Angela - Only Crumbs Remain
You're so right Mandy. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of shop bought strawberry icecream - it just tastes so artificial and not at all like a real strawberry tastes!
Thanks for your lovely comments Mandy,

Oh my gosh! I am literally drooling over my keyboard. I love love love 'proper' ice cream and dream of having my own ice cream maker!!
Angela - Only Crumbs Remain
Hahaha, same here Vicki. Give me proper ice cream any day (though I have to admit I've never actually tried the banana base one). Ooh you must get an ice cream maker Vicki - mine has to go into the freezer so I need to be a bit organised with it - but so worth it. Can you imagine having one of those fancy ones that are on baking shows now and again - just pour in the ice cream mixture and then it churns and cools it super fast to come out via a tap! Now THAT would really be amazing!
