Strawberry Soda Ice Cream Food

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SODAS

Steps:

• In each glass combine 1/4 cup each of the milk and strawberry syrup.
• Put 2 or 3 scoops of the ice cream into each glass and fill the glasses with the club soda or seltzer.
• Divide the remaining syrup among the sodas and garnish each soda with a strawberry.
• In the food processor or in a blender in batches puree the strawberries, transfer the puree to a stainless steel or enameled saucepan, and stir in the sugar and water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, and simmer it for 1 minute.
• Force the mixture through a fine sieve set over a bowl and chill the syrup, covered, for at least 3 hours.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Stir together the half-and-half and 2 cups of the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the caviar and add it to the mixture (or add the vanilla extract). Heat the mixture until it's hot but not simmering or boiling.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks vigorously with a whisk until they start to lighten in color, about 2 minutes.
• Next, grab a ladle of the hot half-and-half mixture and very slowly drizzle it into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking the whole time. (The purpose of this is to temper the egg yolks and bring them to a good temperature before adding them to the pan.) Repeat with a second ladle of hot half-and-half mixture, making sure to whisk the whole time.
• Pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the rest of the half-and-half mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon, cooking it slowly, until it's thick enough to coat the spoon, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a clean bowl. Pour the thick half-and-half liquid through the strainer into the bowl. Add the heavy cream and stir gently to combine. Refrigerate this mixture until chilled, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine the strawberries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender. Puree until smooth (or you can stop just short of smooth if you want a little texture). Pour the pureed strawberries into the chilled custard mixture and stir.
• Now pour this mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze it according to the manufacturer's directions. Depending on the size of your machine, you may need to do this in 2 batches. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer until frozen firm, at least 4 hours.

Add 2 scoops of ice cream, add soda to the top of the glass, and serve with a spoon and a straw.
• Combine the cocoa, salt, sugar and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the coffee granules, and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the syrup into a bowl and add the vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon in a container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Strain the syrup into a pitcher, pushing down on the berries to extract all the liquid.

Steps:

• Using an ice cream scoop, put 1/2 cup of sherbet into each glass. Scoop 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream on top of the sherbet. Pour 1/3 cup club soda on top of the ice cream. Drizzle each glass with 2 tablespoons of raspberry syrup and garnish with fresh raspberries. Serve immediately with straws and sundae spoons.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the orange juice and cornstarch until smooth. Add the raspberries, raspberry jam and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on the solids with a wooded spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Cool the syrup for 30 minutes.

• Place puree in tall glass; stir in cream and club soda.
• Add scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• If desired, garnish with fan cut whole strawberry or sprig of fresh mint.
• I have used turbinado sugar for a different taste; also can use half& half in place of cream for a thinner, less rich soda.
• Other berries would work well.
