750 ml single cream
5 medium egg yolks
150 g caster sugar
350 g strawberries
Step 2: Puree the strawberries
Take 350 grams of washed strawberries and remove the stalks and the leaves, placing the fruit into a food processor or blender. Once you have de-stalked all of the strawberries, puree the fruit until it forms a smooth paste and leave to one side.
Step 3: Make a basic custard
Separate 5 eggs, keeping the yolks in a small bowl and discarding the whites. Whisk the yolks together until they are well beaten. Now mix the egg yolks in a saucepan with 750ml of single cream and 150 grams of caster sugar. Heat on a medium heat, stirring frequently until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is almost at the boil.
Remove from the heat and pour into a cold bowl or jug, and leave to cool fully.
Step 4: Combine the fruit and the custard
Once the mixture is cool, stir in the pureed strawberries thoroughly and transfer everything into your ice cream maker. Check your manufacturers instructions, but for this quantity you will need to put the machine on for roughly 30 minutes.
Alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, you can simply pour the mixture into a tub and bung it in the freezer, but you will need to stir it regularly as it sets, which will take up to 5 hours.
Once the time is up and the ice cream has set, simply scoop and serve, and you should have one happy customer!
