Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Perfect for the season and the weather, this ice cream does not need to be made in an ice cream machine.

Serves 6

450g. / 1lb. strawberries

250g. / 8ozs. caster sugar

584mls. / 1 pt. Double or Whipping Cream

4 tablespoons of Crème de Cassis

1. Liquidise the strawberries, caster sugar and crème de cassis in a liquidiser or food processor. Sieve if desired.

2. Whip the cream fairly stiffly and fold in the strawberry puree. Freeze until solid. As this is made with cream and has a high fat content it will not produce ice crystals and does not need to be made in an ice cream machine.

3. The mixture would benefit from being softened in the fridge for half an hour before serving. Shortbread or brandysnap biscuits would be nice with this.
