Low Gi: Strawberry Ice Cream

Takes time unless you have an ice-cream maker

Ingredients

1 pint of milk
6 egg yolks
3 fl ozs of double cream whisked until slightly thickened but not solid
A punnet of strawberries - as ripe and a succulent as you can find - remove stalks and leaves and mash up
One teaspoon of vanilla essence

Method

Bring milk to the boil and add the yolks and whisk fast
Cook very gently stirring while the mixture thickens slightly (should simply coat the back of the spoon lightly)
Remove from heat and when cooled add strawberries and cream and mix or whisk together until evenly spread
Add vanilla essence at this point if required
Now put in the freezer and wait until nearly firm. Remove and whisk again and then re freeze . Repeat this two more times and then re freeze. If you have an ice cream maker, just stick it in there, it won't need repeated whisking.
Now ready to eat.
