PREP TIME: 40mins
COOKING TIME: 60mins

INGREDIENTS

700 g organic strawberries
20 g icing sugar
200 ml organic cream
2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
180 g caster sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
salt

INSTRUCTIONS 

    • Put the strawberries in a food processor, blitz to a puree and pass through a large sieve set over a bowl. Use a spatula to help push the through the puree, leaving the seeds in the sieve, you should end with about 450ml puree.
       
    • Pour 150ml of puree into a small bowl and add the icing sugar (I sieved the icing sugar to prevent lumps), mix well. Set in the fridge. Put the remaining 300ml in a second bowl and also refrigerate.
    • Pour the cream into a med bowl and whisk to soft peaks, making sure not to over whip! - put the cream in the fridge.
      Fill a small saucepan with enough water to come up about 5cm up the sides, bring to a gentle simmer.
    • Put the egg yolks, whole egg, sugar and lemon juice into the bowl, with your hand mixer (or electric mixer) whisk briefly to combine the ingredients, place the bowl on top of the saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water.
    • Whisk continuously for 6 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warmed. Take the mixture off the heat and whisk on a medium/low setting for 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick, pale and cooled. TIP: you can use your electric mixture (kitchen aid).
    • Add the 300ml strawberry puree to the thickened mixture and gently mix, fold in the whipped cream, spoon the mixture into a large, glass freezer container and freeze for at least 12 hours, overnight is best. TIP: I swirled a few tablespoons of the sweetened puree through the ice cream to create a swirled effect (see the pic).
       
    • Troubleshooting: if you whipped the cream too far and there are lumps of cream in your mixture, don’t worry, you can give the mixture a quick whizz to remove the lumps.
      Ten minutes before serving, remove the ice-cream from the freezer to soften lightly. Scoop the ice cream into bowls and add the sweetened strawberry puree dolloped on top. Enjoy!
