Instructions

  • Strawberry ice cream:

  • Lime sugar:

Tip

1- Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream machine – it speeds up the process, and you do not have to stir the ice cream repeatedly during freezing.

2- If strawberries are not in season, replace the fresh strawberries with frozen ones. Put the frozen strawberries in a small pan with sugar and lime juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Blend the strawberries into a smooth purée and let it cool before folding it into the ice cream.

3- Store the ice cream in an airtight container or a mould with a tight lid to reduce the formation of ice crystals. You can also press a piece of cling film onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent a grainy and icy texture. Place the ice cream in the back or main part of the freezer where the temperature is the coldest and most consistent to preserve a creamy texture.
