A creamy and luxurious Homemade Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream made with fresh strawberries, real vanilla bean, and a rich custard base. Perfect for a sweet treat on warm days!

Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Strawberry Mixture:

    • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

    For the Custard:

    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 6 large egg yolks

Instructions

  • Prepare the Strawberry Mixture:
    • In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Make the Custard:
    • In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
    • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
    • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes).
  • Cool the Custard:
    • Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any curdled bits. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
  • Churn the Ice Cream:
    • Churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • During the last few minutes of churning, add the strawberry mixture so it swirls into the ice cream.
  • Freeze:
    • Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze until firm (about 2-3 hours). Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure the custard is properly strained to remove any cooked egg bits.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every 30 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
  • Garnish with extra fresh strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.
