Made in the traditional French-custard style—an ice cream that no store-bought version can touch!

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1/2 lemon, zested
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 lb strawberries, trimmed and quartered (if frozen, let thaw)

Directions

  • In a sauce pan, combine heavy cream, vanilla bean, lemon zest, and salt. Heat just to a boil and remove from heat, pour cream mixture through a strainer to remove lemon zest. Use a spoon to scrape the inside of the vanilla bean out, add this to the cream.
  • In a large, chilled bowl, whisk together eggs with 1/2 cup sugar. Slowly add hot cream, making sure to not cook the eggs, and whisking the egg mixture as you pour. Pour back into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat in a double-boiler, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and a thermometer registers 170F.
  • Once it reaches 170F, remove from heat and pour into a chilled bowl. Let it rest until it cools to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Place into your refrigerator for 2 hours to chill.
  • Meanwhile, coat the strawberries with sugar and allow them to macerate. After two hours, pure strawberries and sugar until smooth. If you wish to remove the seeds, use a sieve or cheesecloth and squeeze the pure, forcing out as much of the strawberry pure as possible.
  • Combine the pure with the cream mixture and transfer to an ice cream maker. Follow ice cream maker instructions on how long to process. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
