Strawberry Ice Cream with Cream Gourmet
A creamy and elegant ice cream that highlights the natural flavor of fresh strawberries. This dessert is perfect for lovers of classic flavors with a gourmet twist.
Ingredients (Serves 4-6):
500 g fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered
1 cup sugar (adjust based on strawberry sweetness)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prepare the strawberry puree:
Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother ice cream, strain the puree to remove the seeds.
In a small saucepan, mix the strawberry puree with half of the sugar. Cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the puree reduces slightly and thickens. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the cream mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the cooled strawberry puree to the cream mixture and stir well to combine. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
Make the ice cream:
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn until creamy.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a sprig of mint. Serve alone or alongside cookies, brownies, or whipped cream.
Tips:
For an extra burst of flavor, add a tablespoon of strawberry liqueur or Grand Marnier to the mixture before freezing.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until you achieve the desired texture.
