My issue with fruit ice creams is not being able to taste the fruit, so to keep that flavor foremost, I cook the ice cream base on its own and then add fresh fruit. Less fat—no eggs in the ice cream base—allows the berry flavor to stand out.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the milk, heavy cream, milk powder, invert sugar, corn syrup, and granulated sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, mix thoroughly with an immersion blender, and strain into a bowl or a big measuring cup.
Step 2
Hull the strawberries and put them in a food processor. Process to a smooth puree. Stir into the milk mixture, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to develop.
Step 3
Mix again with the immersion blender, then freeze in an ice cream maker. Pack into a plastic container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
