About This Recipe

"Good enough to be served at Ben & Jerry's. Use fresh, good-quality ingredients. I love to make this during strawberry season. Plan to refrigerate berries in sugar for 1 hour before making ice cream."

·          1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

·          2 large eggs

·          1 cup sugar, divided

·          1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2.    In large mixing bowl beat eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

3.    Gradually add 3/4 cups sugar, mixing well. Stir in milk and vanilla and mix well.

4.    Add strawberries with juice and mix well.

5.    Gently stir in whipping cream just until combined.

Bean's notes- I pureed the strawberries with the cup of sugar and added lemon zest as well as the lemon juice. That was I was sure it was very strawberry throughout each bite, and there was also just a hint of lemon. It was amazing! I can't wait to go home and eat more of it!
