Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries
- 2 cups crème fraîche or sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Crisp butter cookies or tuiles for serving
Instructions
- Hull the strawberries and coarsely chop them; you should have about 3 cups. In a blender, combine the strawberries, crème fraîche, cream, sugar, vanilla and salt and puree until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or up to 2 days, before serving.
- Serve accompanied with cookies. Makes 1 quart; serves 6.
- <b>Note:</b> This Philadelphia-style ice cream&mdash;that is, an ice cream made without a custard base&mdash;relies on the fat in a cultured dairy product for its smooth texture and rich flavor. Do not use nonfat or low-fat sour cream for this recipe.
