Cool down with this icy number in the heat of the summer when strawberries are at their best

Difficulty and servings

Moderately easy

Makes 750ml

Preperation and cooking times

Ready in 25 minutes plus freezing

Method

  1. Put the sugar in a saucepan with 250ml water, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Whizz the strawberries in a food processor and push the mix through a fine sieve. Stir in the sugar syrup and vinegar.
  3. If you are using an ice-cream machine, lightly whisk the egg white and add it to the strawberry mixture before churning the whole lot. Then put into a freezer box and freeze until ready to serve.
  4. If you are using your freezer, tip the strawberry mix into a freezer box and freeze until it is almost set (check after 3 hours). Then break it up with a fork and tip it into a food processor, along with the egg white, and whizz it into an icy slush. Tip the mix back into a freezer box and refreeze.
  5. Serve scoops garnished with a few fresh strawberries.

    I made this for a lunch party and it was amazing. I don't have an ice-cream maker and I was impressed with the smooth results - I blitzed it a couple of times during the freezing process.

    wow...fantastic!!! So simply to make. I am surprised there has only been one comment and rating so far. I made it last night and added the egg white when I pulled it out from freezer the 1st time. This morning, I churned it again with the food processor and it doubled in volume!! It tastes wonderful...great for summer, light and soothing!!!

    One question - given that it has egg white in it, can it be kept in the freezer for long?
