Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream A Sweet Scoop of Bliss

Print Recipe

Rich and creamy frozen custard-style ice cream featuring fresh strawberries and real vanilla bean for a luxurious homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • ¼ tsp coarse Kosher salt
  • ¾ lb strawberries, washed, hulled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp good-quality vodka, optional

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together the cream, milk, vanilla bean seeds, egg yolks, sugar (reserving 2 tbsp sugar for later) and the salt. Heat the custard over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it begins to steam and just bubble slightly around the edges. Do not let it boil.
  2. Chill the custard completely in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  3. Toss the chopped strawberries with the reserved 2 tbsp sugar. Scrape the mixture into a small food processor, and pulse a few times to finely chop the fruit. It should resemble the texture of slightly chunky strawberry salsa.
  4. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Halfway through the churning, add the strawberry mixture, including all the liquid. Finish churning the ice cream until it has a soft serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze for 2-4 hours for firmer texture.

Notes

Use a real vanilla bean for the best flavor and beautiful specks. An ice cream maker is required for proper texture. Vodka helps keep the ice cream scoopable by lowering the freezing point. For best results, chill the custard base overnight before churning.
