UPDATED Strawberry ice cream

I knew I love strawberry ice cream, but I really didn't know how much I love it until I started making it myself.

Here's an update on the earlier recipe I posted.

Ingredients:

  • 300g strawberries, stemmed and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 300 ml single cream
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 135g granulated sugar (or 150g if you prefer sweeter)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Procedure:

  •  In a small bowl, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and 50g of the sugar.  Mix gently but well.  Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight.  
  • Heat 300 ml single cream with the rest of the sugar (85g) (or 100g if making the sweeter version) and a pinch of salt, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.  Remove from heat and add 1 tsp vanilla extract; mix.  Once cool, cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. 
  • Strain the strawberries and reserve the liquid.  Remove half the strawberries and set aside.  Mash the other half of the strawberries.  
  • Mix together the mashed strawberries, the reserved liquid, the mixture of single cream, salt, and sugar, and the remaining 300 ml of double cream.  
  • Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker if that's what you're using.   
  • About five minutes before the end, add the reserved strawberries and allow to mix in. 

Enjoy!

Notes:
  • It's April and I still used frozen strawberries from the grocery store, which I thawed in the refrigerator overnight, then sliced.  
  • The first time I made this, I made a mistake and combined all the sugar with the strawberries at once.  It seems to have worked out just fine.  
  • The ice cream was even more amazing, which I didn't think was possible, with this topping: https://www.cooks.com/recipe/en8602mn/hot-fudge-sauce-for-ice-cream.html
