Frozen Strawberry Custard with Lemon Curd Swirl
- 1 1/2 pounds strawberries, hulled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup Lemon Curd
- Working in batches, pulse the strawberries in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Scrape the strawberries into a large bowl and stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the sugar.
- Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk and bring just to a simmer.
- In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs at medium speed until frothy.
- Add the vanilla, salt and the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar.
- Beat at high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- With the machine on, very gradually whisk in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, then whisk in the rest.
- Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
- (The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of the spatula.)
- Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a large stainless-steel bowl set in an ice water bath.
- Let stand, stirring occasionally, until well chilled, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the strawberries with their juices, then refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- In two batches, freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions; when the custard is thick but not firm, scrape it into a medium bowl and using a rubber spatula, gently fold in 1/2 cup of the lemon curd per batch.
- Freeze the strawberry custard in airtight containers until firm, about 2 hours.
