Ingredients:
- For the strawberry base:
- 500 g fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for enhanced flavor)
- For the vanilla bean base:
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean (or 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract)
- 4 large egg yolks
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the strawberries are softened, use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave some bits of fruit intact.
- Stir in the lemon juice, then let the strawberry mixture cool completely. Set aside.
