Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

300g fresh ripe strawberries, stemmed and sliced
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
165g granulated sugar
165ml milk
300ml double cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
ß In a small bowl, combine the strawberries with the lemon juice and 80g of the sugar. Stir gently and allow
the strawberries to macerate in the juices for 2 hours. Strain the berries, reserving juices. Mash or purée
half the berries.
ß Pour the milk and remaining sugar into a medium bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the
cream, reserved strawberry juice and vanilla, cover and refrigerate if time allows.
ß Turn the appliance on, pour the mixture into the freezer bowl and leave the mixture to thicken,
20-25 minutes.
ß Five minutes before mixing is completed, add the reserved sliced strawberries and allow them to mix in
completely.
ß This will produce a soft ice cream. For a fi rm ice cream, transfer to an air tight container and place in the
freezer for 2 hours.
N.B: This ice cream will have a "natural" appearance of very pale pink. If a deeper pink is required, add a
few drops of red food colouring until the desired colour is achieved.
