Strawberry Ice Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe
To make this ice-cream, carefully select the sweeter strawberries. Choose the smaller variety as they are usually much sweeter than the larger ones. If the strawberries are sour, you may need to increase the quantity of sugar required. The variation of this ice-cream with bananas makes an amazingly different flavour. Bananas greatly improve the texture of this ice-cream.
