Ingredients:

ㅤ ㅤStrawberry Ice Cream
1 pack Strawberry (1 Pint (2 Cups) Ripe Strawberries, Washed and Stemmed)
1 cup Whole Milk
1½ cup Heavy Cream
3/4 cup Agave Syrup
1/8 tsp. Salt
1½ cup Lemon Juice
1 cup Granulated Sugar
ㅤ ㅤPate a Choux
1 cup Water
4 oz. Butter
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
5 Large Egg
ㅤ Chocolate Sauceㅤ
1/4 cup Milk
1½ cup Heavy Cream
1/8 tsp. Salt
8 oz. Dark Chocolate

Directions:

Step 1 【Strawberry Ice Cream】

Puree strawberries in a blender. Pass through a fine-meshed strainer to remove seeds.

Step 2

Whisk together with the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice if it tastes flat.

Step 3

Spin in an ice cream machine until thick and the ice cream looks like soft serve, then freeze at least three hours to set.

Step 4 【Pate a Choux】

In a pot, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil.

Step 5

When water boils, turn off the heat and stir to completely melt butter.

Step 6

With heat off, add flour, stirring until dough is uniform and no lumps of flour remain.

Step 7

Return pot to low-medium heat and cook, stirring, three minutes until the dough starts to turn yellow and comes together into a ball.

Step 8

Remove dough to the bowl, then mix in eggs, one at a time, until batter is smooth and forms soft peaks. You may not add all 5 eggs, depending on the consistency of the dough.

Step 9

Pipe into rounds on a sheet pan covered with parchment (or a silicone baking mat), making sure to leave 2” in between puffs.

Step 10

To bake, put in preheated 200°C / 400°F oven for ten minutes, then lower to 170°C / 325°F to finish baking, approximately ten more minutes.

Step 11

To test for doneness, break open a cream puff to make sure it’s completely baked inside. Cream puffs will feel light when they are done.

Step 12

Cool, then cut in half to fill with ice cream.

Step 13 【Chocolate Sauce】

Bring cream, milk, & salt to a simmer.

Step 14

Chop chocolate into small pieces.

Step 15

Pour hot milk & cream mix over chocolate, let stand one minute, then stir to combine. Serve immediately or store in fridge up to one week and warm to serve.

Step 16

Enjoy!
