JENNIFER MCLAGAN'S SIMPLE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM WITH BRANDY SNAPS

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Puree the sliced berries, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Strain to remove seeds. Heat the heavy cream just to the boiling point and pour over the puree. Stir to combine, and chill overnight. Freeze the next day in an ice-cream machine, folding in the finely diced berries just at the end. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
• For the brandy snaps: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
• Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together in a saucepan. When it starts to bubble, remove from the heat and beat in the brandy and flour.
• Using a teaspoon, place 6 spoonfuls, well apart from one another, on the baking sheet. Bake until flat and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool on the sheet just until they are firm enough to move, but still pliable (a matter of seconds). Shape over a rolling pin, or simply leave flat. Carry on with baking the second batch.
• Serve a grand spoonful of ice cream with a crispy brandy snap!

EASY, EGGLESS STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla, strawberries, and food coloring. Pour the mixture into the freezer bowl of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

EASY STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. If they are still quite hard, cut them in half or quarters with a table knife. Tip them into a flat-bottomed dish.
• Use a potato masher to squash the strawberries as much as you can. Tip into a bowl. Ask your grown-up helper to give you a hand if you need to.
• Add the mascarpone and mash this in - don't worry if it is a bit lumpy. Add the condensed milk and mix everything together. Don't worry if the mix is streaky.
• Spoon the mixture into a metal or plastic box and put it in the freezer. Wait until the next day or at least 6 hours before scooping into bowls or cones. Decorate how you like.

STRAWBERRY JAM RIPPLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Beat the double cream using an electric whisk until it holds its shape. Keep beating on a lower speed and gradually pour in the condensed milk and vanilla extract, then slowly add the lemon zest and juice. Put the mixture in a shallow baking tin or container that will fit in your freezer.
• Drop the jam all over the surface in little blobs using a teaspoon, then drag a skewer through the blobs to spread it out a little. Some jam will disappear from the surface but that's okay. Cover the container and put it in the freezer for at least 3 hrs. This is a soft-set ice cream, so you don't need to take it out of the freezer too far ahead of serving. Will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
