Strawberry ice-cream

Strawberry is my daughter's favourite flavour, probably because it is pink in colour. I like the rich red colour of the berry. When my local store starting restocking frozen berries, I felt it was a good time to make a strawberry ice-cream. 

Fact : There are around 200 seeds in a single strawberry! 

The flowers are of the plant, Ixora coccinea, commonly called jungle geranium. We have a few shrubs bearing these flowers in bunches, right next to our gate. There are also yellow and pink varieties. In Malayalam, it called chethi and is an important flower in temple prasadam and pooja.

Ingredients you need are,

Strawberry, frozen - 150 g

Sugar - 1 Tbsp

Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp

Cream - 2/3 cup

Condensed milk - 100 g

Grind the strawberries coarsely, so that there are some small pieces here and there.

Keep a saucepan on slow heat. Add sugar and strawberry. Stir continuously and switch off when all the moisture evaporates. Let it cool and then rerigerate for an hour.

In a bowl, whisk vanilla, cream and condensed milk. Add the refrigerated strawberry mixture, and stir lightly to mix.

Freeze for 8 hours.
