Method

  • step 1

    Remove the tops from the strawberries and put in a food processor with the sugar. Blitz to make a rough purée – a few chunky bits add texture to the ice cream.

  • step 2

    Tip the crème fraîche into a bowl and stir in the strawberry purée. Put in an ice-cream maker to churn or put the bowl into the freezer until the ice cream is firm 3cm in from the edge – about 1-2 hrs. Remove from the freezer and whisk to break down the ice crystals, return to the freezer for 1 hr longer, then whisk again. Transfer the ice cream to a freezerproof container with a lid and freeze until firm.

  • step 3

    To serve, transfer the ice cream to the fridge for about 20 mins until it is soft enough to scoop.

To make extra special cones, finely chop 50g pistachios and melt 200g white chocolate. Dip 8-10 cones in the chocolate, let the excess run off, then dip into the pistachios and leave to set on baking parchment in the fridge.

Whisk together 250ml 50% reduced fat crème fraîche with 50g caster sugar, 6g sweetener (I used Silver Spoon granulated sweetener), 45ml milk of choice (I used Alpro unsweetened coconut),…

Lovely recipe. Works really well using the "in the freezer" method as with an ice cream maker. First time I'd used an ICM and found it a complete waste of time....... Glad I'd used a friend's brand new one as she wanted me to have a go. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone! However, might give it…

Simple and delicious. I used strawberries that were a bit over-ripe (thanks to over enthusiastic kids at the pick-your-own fruit farm), left the seeds in, used reduced fat creme fraiche and the kitchen aid ice cream bowl attachment. No issues with texture, ice crystals or not freezing, thankfully.…
