Strawberries are super cheap and sweet at the moment. Early in the season I treat strawberries like royalty eating them raw and savoring there glorious flavour knowing that summer is on the way. Now that summer is here with a glut of strawberries I start thinking towards the cooler months and how I can prolong my strawberry season. I make jam Strawberry and Black Pepper, Strawberry and rhubarb or I make a coulis in it's simplest form (punnets of hulled strawberries blended raw with sugar - 1 cup of sugar with 2 punnets of strawberries) and freeze it in ice trays. This will be the base of my super easy strawberry ice-cream a taste of summer in the dark depths of winter. If you have an ice-cream churner this just so, so simple it would be criminal not to give this recipe a whirl you will not be disappointed. Minimum effort maximum flavour. If not then you have a little bit of work to do but it is so worth the effort.
Super Easy Strawberry Ice-cream
2 punnets strawberries Hulled and halved
1 cup sugar
300mls cream
1 shot vodka ( this helps to keep your ice-cream soft but is not essential)
Blend strawberries, vodka and sugar together in a food processor until smooth. If you don't like the seeds push through a sieve to remove. Pour the strawberry coulis into the ice-cream churner following the manufacturers instructions. Slowly add the cream leave to churn until very thick. Freeze until firm or scoff as soft serve.
If you don't have a churner once the coulis has been made pour into a shallow tray and partially freeze. Use the pulse setting on the food processor to quickly break down pour on cream and pulse until combined. Partially refreeze. Process again and refreeze. Repeat and pour into plastic container freeze and eat.
