Ingredients

Scale

For the Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 liters real cream (avoid fillers/emulsifiers)
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract)

For the Roasted Strawberries:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup honey

Optional:

  • Food coloring (for visual appeal)
  • Mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

Freeze the Bowl: Place your ice cream maker’s freezer bowl in the freezer for at least 16–24 hours.

Roast Strawberries: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss strawberries with honey and roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet for ~25 minutes until soft and caramelized. Let cool.

Make Custard Base:

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat cream with split vanilla bean (or extract) over medium heat until just before boiling. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Slowly temper them by whisking in small ladlefuls of hot cream. Repeat 2–3 times.
  • Return mixture to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (~5 minutes). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or curdles.

Combine Custard & Strawberries: Mix roasted strawberries into the cooled custard base. Puree for smooth texture or leave chunky for fruit bites. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Churn Ice Cream: Set up your ice cream maker with the frozen bowl. Pour in the chilled mixture and churn for ~20–25 minutes until thickened. Add mix-ins during the last few minutes if desired.

Freeze for Firmer Texture: Transfer churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2–3 hours if firmer consistency is preferred.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in chilled bowls or waffle cones.
  • Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Temper eggs carefully to avoid curdling.
  • Use ripe, seasonal strawberries for maximum flavor.
  • Chill all ingredients thoroughly before churning for better results.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping to soften.
