The same beauties that give us that delicious flavor and gorgeous color are at fault here. First, there is the issue of water. Strawberries are an incredibly water dense fruit which can cause the ice cream to crystalize. "So, I'll just cook them first!" you say? Well, you can but you'll be removing the beautiful bright pop of that fresh berry flavor. And isn't that why we're all here? Lucky for us a super sneaky ingredient helps us tackle that issue: corn syrup. This sly little sweetener impedes crystallization. Problem solved. Second, that distinctive flavor can get lost in a rich ice cream base. You want it creamy, but not so dense that you can't taste the star ingredient. The answer: use an eggless base.

Tip

Strawberries will not ripen off the vine. Buy the ripest you can find and use them right away!
