Method

  1. 1

    Roast. Heat the oven to 200 °C. Toss the strawberries with the 60 g sugar in the roasting tin and roast for 20-25 min, until soft and sitting in a syrupy red juice. Cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Base. Whisk the cornflour with 60 ml of the milk. Bring the rest of the milk, the cream, 70 g sugar and salt to a simmer, whisk in the slurry and cook for 3 min until lightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Blend. Blend the strawberries and every bit of their juice with the hot milk base until smooth.

  4. 4

    Chill. Pour into the bowl over iced water, stir until cool, then cover and chill for at least 4 h.

  5. 5

    Churn. Stir in the lemon juice and churn for 20-25 min.

  6. 6

    Freeze. Pack into the container and freeze for at least 3 h; soften in the fridge for 15 min before scooping.

Storage

Keep covered with baking paper pressed on the surface in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Soften for 10-15 min in the fridge before scooping.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.17 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 102 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide

Free sugars

16.2 g per serving

32.4 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 64.8 % of the ideal 25 g

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
