Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream
Recipe courtesy of The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz
1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vodka or kirsch (I used vodka)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries, sugar and vodka. Let sit for 1 hour at room temperature, stirring periodically. Add the strawberries and their juices, along with the sour cream, heavy cream and lemon juice to a blender, pulse until combined, but still slightly chunky. Chill mixture in the fridge, 1 hour, and then freeze according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. Store in freezer. Makes about 1 1/4 quarts.
You know what's even better than a bowl of strawberry ice cream? A strawberry milkshake. Do it!
The colour is so beautiful and I bet it tastes delicious. YUM! Kisses
