Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for strawberries)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Add the vanilla bean seeds and the empty pod. Heat over medium heat until it starts to steam (do not boil).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture while whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
  3. Gradually add the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring continuously over low heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat, discard the vanilla pod, and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Meanwhile, mix the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until they release their juices.
  6. Once the cream mixture is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the strawberries and their juices.
  7. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
