Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 12 hrs 30 mins


• blend strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor until strawberries are coarsely chopped. transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• heat 1 cup heavy cream, milk, and 3/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed through and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and allow cream mixture to cool for 30 minutes.
• whisk egg yolks together in a bowl. slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. transfer warmed egg mixture back to the saucepan.
• heat egg yolk mixture over medium heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom of the saucepan, until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spatula, about 5 minutes.
• pour remaining 1 cup heavy cream into a large bowl and set a strainer atop the bowl. slowly pour custard through strainer and stir. add vanilla extract and salt. stir chilled strawberry mixture and chocolate chips into custard.
• place ice cubes into a large bowl and add water; stir. place the bowl of strawberry-chocolate mixture into the ice bath and allow mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes; remove bowl from ice bath and cover with plastic wrap. refrigerate until well chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
• pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. transfer ice cream to a lidded container. cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. for best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
