Ingredients

6 servings

For the strawberries

1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

For the custard

1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
5 large egg yolks
¼ tsp fine salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Combine the quartered strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir to coat, then let the berries macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes, until they release their juices and the sugar dissolves.
2
Mash the macerated strawberries with a fork until you have a rough, chunky purée with some small pieces remaining. Set aside.
