8ounces(227 grams) fresh strawberrieshulled and diced
2tablespoons(25 grams) granulated sugar
1tablespoon(15 milliliters) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks.
Once the milk mixture is steaming, but not yet at a boil, slowly pour about 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) into the eggs while constantly whisking.
Once incorporated, slowly stream in and whisk another 1/2 cup (120 milliliters).
Slowly pour the mixture back into the saucepan over medium-low heat while whisking. Cook while continuing to stir until just thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 170-180˚F (77˚C-82˚C). Be careful not to overcook or it will curdle.
Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours to overnight.
For the Strawberries:
In a medium bowl, stir together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside for 20-30 minutes, while the ice cream churns, then lightly mash.
To assemble:
Place an 8.5 x 4.5 inch (22 x 10 centimeter) loaf pan in the freezer.
Freeze the chilled custard in the ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Five minutes before the ice cream is finished churning, slowly add the diced strawberry mixture.
Place 1/3 of the churned ice cream into the cold loaf pan.
Drizzle 1/2 of the chocolate hazelnut spread over the ice cream and quickly use a toothpick or chopstick to swirl the mixture slightly.
Cover with another 1/3 of the ice cream.
Drizzle with the remaining chocolate hazelnut spread and quickly use a toothpick or chopstick to lightly swirl.
Cover with the remaining ice cream and smooth the top gently with a spatula.
Cover the loaf pan with freezer safe plastic wrap and freeze until the desired consistency is reached, about 4 hours, before serving.
