Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 60 grams Crushed graham crackers
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional)
- 120 grams Whipped cream
- 6 strawberries Fresh strawberry slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
Set aside to cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled (about 1 hour).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions (about 20-25 minutes).
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in half of the chilled strawberry sauce, creating a swirl effect.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or glasses.
Top each sundae with a drizzle of the remaining strawberry sauce, crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts (optional), whipped cream, and fresh strawberry slices for garnish.
