Ingredients

Scale

4 large or 5 medium egg yolks, at room temperature

3 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons strawberry extract

1 pound fresh strawberries, about 3 cups, trimmed and diced

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. The day prior, freeze the canister from the ice cream churn. (If you are using an ice cream maker that doesn’t require pre-freezing the canister, you can skip this step.)
  2. Whisk the egg yolks and leave at room temperature.
  3. In a medium to large saucepan over medium heat, heat cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Ladle a few cups of the hot cream mixture slowly into the egg yolk bowl, whisking vigorously as you pour.
  5. Pour the now tempered egg mixture slowly into the saucepan with the hot cream mixture, continuing to whisk as you pour.
  6. Cook this mixture on low to medium low for about 15 minutes or until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Off heat, whisk in the two extracts and pour into a container for refrigeration. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly over the custard, letting the plastic cover touch the surface of the custard. This will stop skin from forming while it cools.
  8. Cool completely under refrigeration until it reaches the same temperature as your refrigerator (35-38 degrees F.).
  9. Prepare the strawberry mixture by mixing chopped strawberries with lemon juice and honey. Keep refrigerated until later. This mixture must be very cold before adding to the churned ice cream.
  10. Once the custard has chilled, place frozen canister into your ice cream maker and add the custard and churn. The mixture must be almost fully thick (about 25-35 minutes), before adding the chilled strawberry mixture. 
  11. Once the custard is thick, add the strawberry mixture and churn just to mix. Adding the strawberries may loosen the mixture a bit, which is fine, but work fast to get the ice cream frozen.
  12. Scrape the soft strawberry ice cream into a container, cover, and freeze overnight.
