• The tartness of the lime marries well with the sweetness of the strawberries.

    Strawberry and lime syrup ice cream

    Serves: 6 – 8
    Cooking Time: 50 mins plus extra for setting

    Ingredients

    • ICE CREAM
    • 7 egg yolks
    • 300g castor sugar
    • 250ml fresh cream
    • 250g strawberries, finely chopped
    • LIME SYRUP
    • juice and rind of 3 limes, rind finely sliced
    • 200g castor sugar

    Instructions

    1

    For the ice cream, beat the egg yolks with 200g sugar until pale.

    2

    Heat the cream in a pot and add the egg mixture. Cook until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Allow to cool completely.

    3

    Add the strawberries to the remaining sugar and allow to stand for about 30 minutes.

    4

    Mix the custard with the strawberries and spoon into a plastic container. Refrigerate until set. Remove, stir and refrigerate again. Repeat three times.

    5

    For the syrup, put the lime juice and rind into a pot with the sugar, and cook until a syrup has formed. You might have to add about 20ml water so that it’s not too sticky. Allow to cool and serve over the strawberry ice cream.
