Strawberry Icecream Recipe

Pam's Favorite


Delicious Strawberry Icecream Recipe

Just taste this and die!


This Gorgeous Strawberry Icecream Recipe, packed full of Mediterranean Berries, will bring back childhood memories of your first taste of this wonderful easy dessert. It really does have that old fashioned taste of strawberries and cream, because the fruit has not been pulverised in a blender, just mashed roughly so that it keeps its real taste and texture.

Again I am using my standard, favourite, custard recipe as the base, to create a luxurious creamy mouth feel.

Use any soft fruit for this....Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackcurrants, Blackberries, Redcurrants....it's very versatile.

If this strawberry icecream recipe is for adults you can add 50ml of
Framboise Liquer when you add the yogurt and strawberries, to give a little French zing!!


Come on.....lets get going....just follow these easy step-by-step instructions.




Ingredients for 6 people

  • 500ml Double/Heavy Cream
  • 4 Egg Yolks (Use the whites for our Meringue Recipe)
  • 150g Caster Sugar
  • 1 Heaped Teasp Cornflour/Cornstarch
  • 300g Strawberries - Washed, Hulled and Roughly Chopped
  • 250g Greek Yogurt




              Strawberry Icecream Method

Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe



  1. Mash the strawberries roughly (I use a potato masher) with half ofWonderfull Strawberry Icecream the sugar. Put into the fridge whilst making the rest of this recipe.
  2. Put the egg yolks and sugar and cornflour into a bowl and whisk until you get a smooth paste.
  3. put the cream into a saucepan and over a medium heat bring to just under the boil.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and gradually whisk in the egg yolk mixture.
  5. Put the pan back on to medium heat and stir constantly until the custard has thickened and coats the back of the wooden spoon. It needs to be very hot to do this but do not allow the custard to boil or it will scramble.
  6. Take the pan off the heat and pour the custard into a bowl. Cover the surface of the custard with cling film, which prevents a skin forming.
  7. Allow to cool before chilling in the fridge.
  8. Once chilled remove from fridge and take off the cling film.
  9. Stir in the Greek Yogurt and the mashed strawberry mixture.
  10. Pour this into an ice cream maker* and churn until thickened
  11. Spoon into a suitable plastic lidded container and freeze.

Its a good idea to take the ice cream out of the freezer about 15 mins before serving...this makes it easier to scoop


*Don't be put off trying this strawberry icecream recipe if you don't have an ice cream maker. Simply pour your chilled icecream mixture into a suitable plastic container and put into the freezer.

Every hour give it a good stir...eventually it will get to ice cream consistency.

If it goes too hard, put it into a bowl and whisk with an electric beater...or whizz in a food processor.

Return to plastic container and freeze.
