directions

  • Combine the milk and the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil for about 4 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • Puree the strawberries and stir into the milk mixture. Set the mixture aside to cool.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar together until creamy.
  • Stir the cooled strawberry mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Cook in the top of a double boiler for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 3 hours. Stir the gelato vigorously or process in a food processor, and return it to the freezer for another 3 hours. Alternately, an ice cream maker can be used for this step, follow the manufacturer's directions.
  • Serve garnished with fruit.

  1. Obviously this recipe was never tested...Boil milk and cream for 4 minutes? really? I followed directions as written, even though I knew the milk would separate, I had hoped I was mistaken or that it would pull together when added to the egg mixutre. Don't try unless you don't mind disappointment. Waste of ingredients.
     
  2. Delicious strawberry ice cream. Creamy and full-flavoured. We enjoyed this very much.
