Ingredients

Strawberry Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • splash of vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 container of strawberries
  • 6 egg yolks

Graham Cracker cookies:

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Strawberry Ice Cream

  1. In a small pot, simmer cream, milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolves (approx 3-5 min)

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 6 egg yolks until combined
  3. When the mixture on the stove is ready, add about 1/3 of this hot mixture to the whisked egg yolks whisking constantly as to not curdle the yolks. Then whisk the yolk mixture back into pot with cream. Return the pot to the stove until the mixture reaches about 170 degrees on the stove (or thick enough to coat the back of a spoon)
  4. Strain the hot mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl
  5. Puree or blend 8-10 strawberries, then stir this into the hot mixture.

  6. Cool mixture in the fridge for about 4 hours, or until cool. Then churn in your ice cream maker according to the machine’s instructions.
  7. Dice up the remaining strawberries and add to ice cream in the last minutes of churning!

  8. Put back into freezer and freeze until desired hardness

Graham Cracker cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degres.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but should set up nicely as they cool.
