Desserts Recipes - Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

Serves 8

  • 375 g/12 oz strawberries, plus extra to decorate

  • 15 g/1/2 oz gelatine, soaked in 3 tablespoons cold water

  • 450 ml/3/4 pint evaporated milk, chilled

  • 175 g/6 oz caster sugar

  • a few drops of red food coloring

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method:

  1. Rub the strawberries through a sieve or puree in a food processor or blender, then sieve to remove the pips: there should be 300 ml/1/2 pint puree.

  2. Place the soaked gelatine in a bowl over a pan of  simmering water and stir until dissolved. Add the dissolved gelatine to the strawberry puree.

  3. Whisk the evaporated milk until thick, then add the sugar, strawberry puree, red food coloring and lemon juice.

  4. Turn into a freezer proof container. Cover and freeze for 1 hour. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and stir well, then re-freeze until solid.

  5. Transfer to the refrigerator 1 hour before serving, to soften. To serve, scoop into chilled glasses and decorate each one with a strawberry.

Note: Raspberries could replace the strawberries in this ice cream: omit the food coloring if you wish.
