Best Sour Cream Ice Cream With Brown Sugar Strawberry Swirl Recipes

SOUR CREAM ICE CREAM WITH BROWN SUGAR STRAWBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with cream and milk. Bring to a simmer; turn off heat.
• Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly add about half (a cup or so) of hot cream mixture to yolks. Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining cream. Cook, stirring constantly, over moderately low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 7 minutes: do not let it come to a simmer or it will curdle. Immediately strain custard into a clean bowl. Whisk in sour cream, vanilla and salt. Cover custard tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
• About an hour before you want to serve ice cream, combine strawberries and brown sugar in a bowl for 15 minutes. Transfer berries and accumulated juices to a skillet and bring just to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in brandy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer berries to a bowl. Simmer juices in skillet until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over strawberries. Chill mixture in freezer until thoroughly cool but not frozen (15 to 30 minutes).
• Churn custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions. When ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a bowl and swirl in the strawberry mixture with a quick folding action (you want to see red and white swirls, not pink). Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, purée berries, sugar, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and salt. Taste and add more sugar and/or lemon juice (or vinegar) if necessary. The purée should be on the sweet side but with some underlying tartness.
• Stir purée into into ice cream base. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• If using raspberries, strain mixture. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

STRAWBERRY-SOUR CREAM ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Slice the strawberries and toss them in a bowl with the sugar and vodka or kirsch, stirring until the sugar begins to dissolve. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring every so often.
• Pulse the strawberries and their liquid with the sour cream, heavy cream, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until almost smooth but still slightly chunky.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
