Strawberry ice cream
Lime sugar
Tips
Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream machine – it speeds up the process, and you do not have to stir the ice cream repeatedly during freezing.
Tips
If strawberries are not in season, replace the fresh strawberries with frozen ones. Put the frozen strawberries in a small pan with sugar and lime juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Blend the strawberries into a smooth puree and let it cool before folding it into the ice cream.
Tips
Store the ice cream in an airtight container or a mould with a tight lid to reduce the formation of ice crystals. You can also press a piece of cling film onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent a grainy and icy texture. Place the ice cream in the back or main part of the freezer where the temperature is the coldest and most consistent to preserve a creamy texture.

Strawberry ice cream topping
Elevate your fresh strawberry ice cream with a simple homemade strawberry sauce. The sauce can be made with fresh or frozen strawberries cooked in a small saucepan with sugar, corn-starch, lemon juice and zest to brighten the flavour. Serve the strawberry sauce – warm or cold – on top of the strawberry ice cream; it makes for a well-rounded fruity flavour. For a tangier aroma, cook the strawberries with vinegar, sugar, and a bit of salt and water. The pickled strawberries add a bright and tangy taste to the dessert when poured on top of the ice cream. You can also add some crunch with chopped almonds or sprinkles and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
