I adore strawberries, but most of them seem to disappear before they can be processed into anything… 😉
It has been too hot to bake in any case, but the perfect weather for ice cream. My ice cream inspiration comes, more often than not, from David Lebovitz. I love his book “The Perfect Scoop“, which is jam-packed with ice-cream, sorbet and granita recipes. I also enjoy reading his warm and entertaining blog davidlebovitz.com, describing his life in Paris. This is one of his excellent recipes, with slight quantity changes.
Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream
- 400g hulled strawberries
- 140g sugar
- 1 tbsp kirsch
- 150g sour cream
- 275ml cream
- a squeeze of lemon juice
Slice the strawberries and mix with the sugar and kirsch, then let
stand at room temperature for an hour. In a blender briefly
mix strawberries, lemon juice, cream and sour cream, leaving a
few chunks. Chill and then mix in an ice cream maker.
Then freeze.
Don’t forget to remove it from the freezer about 15 minutes before
serving, so you can form nice rounded scoops!
Delicious on its own – even better served with strawberries 😉
I don’t quite understand how a ripe, delicious strawberry can be made into anything but its already perfect self. 😉
True, but we have had soooo many strawberries this year, I needed a change! (I’m all strawberried out now – which is how it’s meant to be!) 😉
Your photography makes this irresistible. (Thought of you when I had a chance to try a Summer Corn Milkshake several days ago at a local restaurant, made from local ingredients. Remarkably good.)
This ice cream was pretty good! (That milkshake sounds intriguing…) 😉
This looks to have elevated the luscious strawberry to an even more refreshing level! Thanks for the recipe.
The sour cream does make it a very refreshing ice cream!
That looks so refreshing!
Perfect for a sunny afternoon in the garden!
Your fotos are from the best! Like a food-fotographer would have done ist. The icecream and the strawberries look so delicious!
Well thanks, but I only get good photos if the light is good! And the subject was just oozing colour and deliciousness! 😉
Teamplaying – subject and human who sees the right moment!
That is Early Summer in a Bowl!
I think I should make some more before the strawberries are all gone, and save it for a hot day in July!
WOW that looks great.
Hey, sorry I didn’t reply earlier… this got caught up in the spam folder! Thanks for visiting!
YummY! 🙂
😀
Hmmm! Such a good idea for a lovely summer´s day!
Strawberry season is nearly over, so better make some more soon! 😉
Looking so mouthwatering! Did you know that if you mix your ice cream in a blender with a Champaign, you’ll get yourself a deliciously cold and liqueury drink.;) I usually use a peach ice cream, but strawberry one will do the magic I am sure!
Thanks for an interesting suggestion! 😉
Enjoy!:-)
This looks good!
The strawberries shine through in this recipe!
The strawberries are just ripening here, I’m definitely going to try this, it looks fantastic!
Our strawberries are coming to an end now, so I may make one last lot this weekend. 😀
OH this looks yum! im gonna try this out! i’m in love w/ ur blog!
Welcome to my blog Yamini. Thanks, and enjoy the ice cream!
