Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

## Essential Ingredients and Tools

- Sweetened condensed milk
- Strawberries

- Strawberry Syrup:
  - Strawberries: 500g
  - Granulated sugar: 45g
  - Vanilla extract: 1g
  - Salt: 1g
- Ice Cream Base:
  - Vanilla extract: 5g
  - Salt: 1g
  - Heavy cream: 6g

## Instructions

- Start by making the strawberry syrup. Wash the strawberries and remove the leafy tops. Cut the strawberries into **5mm** pieces. Set aside half of the chopped strawberries to fold into the ice cream later.
- Place the remaining chopped strawberries and sugar into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and form a syrup in the pan.
- Let the strawberries simmer in the syrup, stirring occasionally, until they break down and lose their shape, and the syrup thickens slightly.
- The syrup is ready when it holds its shape for **3 seconds** after being drizzled off the spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Set the strawberry syrup aside to cool.
- While the syrup cools, prepare the ice cream base. In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture with a hand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy and forms soft peaks.
- Fold the reserved chopped fresh strawberries into the ice cream base. Transfer the base into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle the cooled strawberry syrup over the ice cream and gently swirl it into the mixture.
- Cover the ice cream and freeze for **8 hours**, then scoop and serve.
