How to Make Old Fashioned Strawberry Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks. Slowly temper the egg yolks by whisking in about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture.
  3. Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 cups of finely chopped fresh strawberries.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or seeds.
  6. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
