List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 cups heavy whipping cream
â—¦ 2 cups half-and-half
â—¦ 1 ½ cups sugar
â—¦ 4 large egg yolks
â—¦ 1 tablespoon strawberry extract
â—¦ 1 (1-pound) container fresh strawberries, puréed
â—¦ 1 (5-ounce) container vanilla meringue cookies, crumbled
â—¦ Garnish: fresh strawberries, crushed meringue cookies


Recipe

In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine cream, half-and-half, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; do not boil.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks and strawberry extract. Add 2 cups hot cream mixture to egg mixture, whisking to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually add egg mixture to remaining hot cream mixture. Increase to medium heat, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and let cool for 10 minutes.

Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into an airtight container. Whisk in strawberry purée. Cover, and chill for 4 hours to overnight.

Pour ice cream mixture and meringues into an ice-cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Ice cream will be soft. For firmer ice cream, place in an airtight container, and freeze for several hours or overnight.

Garnish with fresh strawberries and crushed meringue cookies, if desired.
