Tips

Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream machine – it speeds up the process, and you do not have to stir the ice cream repeatedly during freezing.

Tips

If strawberries are not in season, replace the fresh strawberries with frozen ones. Put the frozen strawberries in a small pan with sugar and lime juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Blend the strawberries into a smooth puree and let it cool before folding it into the ice cream.

Tips

Store the ice cream in an airtight container or a mould with a tight lid to reduce the formation of ice crystals. You can also press a piece of cling film onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent a grainy and icy texture. Place the ice cream in the back or main part of the freezer where the temperature is the coldest and most consistent to preserve a creamy texture.
