Homemade strawberry and mint ice cream
Ingredients:
cream 33%;
powdered sugar - 3 tbsp. spoons;
strawberries - 400 g
3 sprigs of mint.

Pour cream into a deep container and add mint sprigs. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, remove from heat and cover with a lid so that the aroma of the cream acquires a minty hue.
Beat the chilled cream first at first speed, then at second and finally at third. The cream must be brought to a thickened mass.

Milk and strawberry ice cream
- First, grind with a spoon or beat in a blender 200 g of strawberries with 2-3 tbsp. Sahara. As soon as the mass becomes homogeneous, put it in the refrigerator to cool.
- Meanwhile, combine 400 ml of milk and 3 chicken yolks with the same amount of sugar (2-3 tbsp) and vanilla on the tip of a knife, whisk and place in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stirring continuously, do not bring the mixture to a boil, but heat until foam appears. As soon as we notice it, immediately remove it from the heat.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature and then put it in the freezer.
- As soon as the mass thickens, take it out and pour in the strawberry syrup. Mix with a blender or beat vigorously with a fork. You want the ice cream to become homogeneous, but it’s okay if there are berry inclusions left, it will become even tastier.
Place in the freezer and then whisk every half hour until the texture of the treat becomes completely fluffier. Be sure to let it melt a little before serving, spread it in portions and garnish with fresh strawberries.

For this, special devices called “ice cream makers” are used, but it can be done without them. There are different ways to prepare everyone's favorite dessert, and they are not complicated.
It is believed that in Europe they learned how to make ice cream thanks to Marco Polo. And the modern composition of ice cream with milk and sugar was invented in the Parisian cafe “Tortoni” at the end of the 18th century. Although historians know that they knew how to make ice cream from milk back in Kievan Rus. Even then, our ancestors ate ice cream at home, serving finely shaved frozen milk. And on Maslenitsa they made another kind of homemade ice cream, the recipe of which included a mixture of frozen cottage cheese, sour cream, raisins and sugar.
For creative people, this process is a true pleasure, because there are hundreds of options for making homemade ice cream. You can experiment as much as your heart desires and never repeat yourself unless you want to.
Another advantage of handmade ice cream is that you choose the ingredients yourself (by the way, the basic ones can always be found in every housewife’s refrigerator) and you certainly don’t want to put artificial colors, emulsifiers, stabilizers or preservatives in it.
If you want to experiment with the technology and introduce additional ingredients into the main composition, for example, lemon juice, vanillin or other aromatic substances, then remember that low temperature muffles the taste of the products, so do not skimp - add additions to the main palette with a generous hand.
The berry season encourages the preparation of ice cream based on puree from juicy, aromatic gifts of nature. So, strawberry ice cream!

Container to choose from
Of course, it’s good to have a jar of frozen berries in the refrigerator. But in the absence of special freezer compartments, it will take up all the free space. Where should the rest of the products go in this case? There is also a way out of this situation. You just need to take care of convenient containers. After all, strawberries with sugar can be found not only in glass jars. You can freeze the prepared puree in any container. It is very convenient to use disposable plastic tableware for this: cups, glasses or small containers. They are easy to fold and can be thrown away immediately after use. An even more practical option is plastic bags. The freshly prepared mass must be carefully poured inside using a ladle and tied tightly. To be safe, it is better to take two bags at once and insert them into one another. The beauty is that the plastic mass can take on any, even the most unusual, shape to fill possible voids in the freezer.
Frozen semi-finished product
Before choosing the method by which the berries will be harvested, it is necessary to decide how these products will be used in the future. You can prepare them in advance so that they will, in fact, be a semi-finished product for specific dishes. For example, for desserts and cocktails they sometimes use not whole strawberries, but fruits cut into pieces. This way it looks more impressive in a glass or in a bowl with ice cream. Moreover, the berry should not be sour. In this case, you need to clearly know how to freeze strawberries with sugar. This is not difficult to do in the refrigerator. It would be better if it had a quick freezing chamber. This will prevent too much juice from leaking out of the berries. It is necessary to carefully monitor the products. First, place the processed and divided fruits into prepared dishes. Then sprinkle them with a little fine sugar and let it dissolve a little. Only after this can you send the container to the freezer. There, a sweet ice crust forms around each piece of strawberry, which will prevent it from spoiling.
