Strawberry ice cream
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. "Daiquiri" ice cream resembles the famous cocktail made with rum and lime juice. The combination of fruit puree, citrus, and alcohol—what could be better for ice cream? This recipe yields 450 g of strawberry ice cream. To make ice cream suitable for children, add only half the amount of rum. Don't eliminate it completely—it makes the ice cream softer. If desired, you can double the amount of lime juice and zest to give the dessert a more pronounced citrus flavor and aroma. The finished dessert can be served immediately.

Meanwhile, pour the cream into a large bowl. Place a sieve on top. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining ½ cup sugar. When the cream mixture in the saucepan boils, very slowly pour it into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly.
