A classic combination, and one of the easiest and most delicious ice creams you could possibly make.

Ingredients

300g strawberries, hulled and chopped
2 tbsp elderflower cordial
150g golden caster sugar
500g mascarpone
100g white chocolate, roughly chopped

For the soft strawberries

200g strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 tbsp elderflower cordial
2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Method

1. Put the chopped strawberries in a bowl. Add the cordial and sprinkle over the sugar. Set aside to macerate for up to 1 hour.
2. Beat the mascarpone and white chocolate together, then fold through the strawberry mixture. Put in a cling film-lined, straight-sided freezer-proof box (about 1 litre) and freeze overnight.
3. For the soft strawberries, put the berries and cordial in a bowl, then sprinkle with sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes. Slice the ice cream and spoon over the strawberries to serve.

Good recipe, very useful-- might be worth trying with other fruit, blueberries, raspberries, maybe even blackberries?

Delicious. We had friends for dinner last night ands I made this the day before, so easy and really fabulous flavour, not too sweet like commercial strawberry ice-cream, needs a few minutes out of the freezer before serving but went down a treat!
