I am in the process of making the roasted strawberry ice cream. Do I still let the vanilla base ‘ripen’ in the fridge 6-12 hours before adding the roasted strawberries in and then freezing?

In reply to Sue. Hi Sue--not at all! Thank you so much for commenting because you actually pointed out a technical issue we had that has now been fixed. You can now find the recipe in the post. Enjoy!

In reply to Maman A Droit. I know this is a rather late answer to your question, but I just read this. I am lactose free. There are two brands that make lactose free half and half now. And I live in a podunk town and am able to buy it. Also, I seem to be able to process whole cream as there is very little lactose in it. Perhaps there is someone else who might read this currently, and this will help them. Zoe, your recipes are divine, and I often convert them to gluten free as well. Thank you.

In reply to Becca.

Hi Becca,

Yes, you can use extract. I would start with 2 teaspoons and see if that is strong enough for your taste. I always strain just to make sure the ice cream base is as smooth as possible.

Thanks, Zoë

I’d really like to try this but can you tell me if it’s possible to use vanilla extract instead and how much? Also, is straining the mixture necessary?

i made this ice cream today and i must say probably the BEST i have ever eaten. had never made custard or roasted bananas before so the recipe taught me a lot of new things. i have one question what is the purpose of passing custard through strainer?

In reply to Natalie.

Hi Natalie,

Do you mean after the base is cooked? No, you can’t after the fact.

Thanks, Zoë
