Ice Cream
- 1 cups Heavy Cream

- 3 egg yolks
- .5 tbsp Vanilla Paste
- 1-2 drops Gel Food Color in Rose
Instructions
Ice Cream Base and Strawberry Syrup
- Make sure to chill the bowl of the ice cream maker. It's best to do this the night before but put it in the freezer now if it's not there already.
- Cut and hull strawberries and let sit in 1 cup of sugar. Set aside.
- In a heavy bottom pot on medium heat, combine milk and heavy cream. Heat until just steaming.
- Whisk together eggs and sugar until the color gets lighter yellow and sugar is mixed in.
- When milk is steaming temper the milk into the eggs by whisking 1 cup into the egg mixture. When the milk is fully combined, whisk in a second cup of milk.
- Once the milk is fully incorporated, pour milk and eggs back into the pot with the rest of the milk and mix. Add vanilla bean paste and whisk together. Bring mixture up to 170 degrees and strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Store in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
- Wash the pot you used for the milk and pour the strawberries into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the strawberries to a course mixture and return strawberries to the pot.
- Heat strawberries to 230 degrees and cut the heat. Store syrup in an airtight container and chill in the fridge with the ice cream base. And wait a minimum 4 hours before putting ice cream in the ice cream machine.
Make the Ice Cream
- Once the Ice Cream Base has chilled. Set up your ice cream machine based on instructions and process ice cream base according to instructions. While ice cream is churning, pour in strawberry syrup. If you want more strawberry, add more, if you want less, add less. I used 1/3 of the syrup made.
- After about 15 minutes (or what your ice cream maker says to do) your ice cream will look like soft serve. Move this into a bowl to enjoy now, or an airtight container and place in freezer
Notes
Make sure ice cream bowl is completely chilled before using it. Chill it completely between batches.
