Ingredients
Instructions
- Whip together all ingredients except whipped cream at low speed on mixer for 20 minutes.
- Fold in whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture into a tray and freeze.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ripe, in-season strawberries. If fresh strawberries are not available, you can substitute with frozen strawberries, but ensure they are thawed and drained well to avoid excess water. Whipping the egg mixture for 20 minutes may seem lengthy, but it helps incorporate air for a lighter texture. You can also experiment by adding a splash of vanilla extract for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful strawberry ice cream in chilled bowls or cones. It pairs beautifully with Janet'S Waldorf Salad for a refreshing contrast or can be enjoyed alongside warm desserts like Dutch Oven Doughnuts. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an elegant presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain its creamy texture, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ice cream without using raw egg?
Yes, you can replace the raw egg with one tablespoon of powdered egg whites, which is safe and provides a similar texture. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought custard base or a vegan cream alternative if you prefer an egg-free version.
How long does the ice cream need to freeze?
The ice cream should freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until it reaches your desired consistency. For best results, freeze it overnight. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Can I add other flavors or mix-ins to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can incorporate other fruits like raspberries or blueberries, or add chocolate chips for some texture. Swirling in a homemade strawberry sauce or a hint of mint can also elevate the flavors and make it unique.
