Ingredients

White Chocolate Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) whole milk
  • 1 cup (237 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) white chocolate chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberries:

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (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 (125 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 add the chopped white chocolate. Allow to sit for a minute, then whisk until melted and smooth and add 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:

  • Freeze 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.
  • Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until desired consistency, about 4 hours, before serving.
