Soft Strawberry Ice Cream
8 servings
200 minutes
Soft strawberry ice cream is a true delight for gourmets, combining a delicate texture with a rich berry flavor. This dessert has roots in European culinary tradition, where special attention is paid to the quality of ingredients and their combination. Strawberry gives the ice cream a refreshing sweet-and-sour note, while cream and milk create a velvety consistency. A light hint of orange juice adds citrus freshness, and a drop of vodka provides refined depth of flavor. This ice cream is perfect for summer treats, romantic evenings, or cozy family tea times. It can be served as a standalone dessert or used in combination with waffles, chocolate sauce, and fresh fruits. Preparation requires patience as it is important to mix the ingredients thoroughly and control the cooling to achieve perfect fluffiness and richness of flavor.
