Preparation Time: 30 minutes (+ 4 hours of freezing)
For: 6 people
Ingredients
For Vanilla Ice Cream:
– 50 cl whole liquid cream (well chilled)
– 25 cl whole milk
– 150 g sugar
– 1 vanilla bean or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 4 egg yolks
For Strawberry Coulis:
– 250 g fresh or frozen strawberries
– 50 g sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Decoration (optional but highly recommended 
):
– Fresh raspberries and blueberries
– Dark chocolate shavings
Preparation
1. Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
In a saucepan, heat the milk with half the sugar and the vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped). Do not boil, just simmer. Let infuse for 10 minutes off the heat.
Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until the mixture whitens.
Gradually pour the hot milk mixture over the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly (be careful, we want a cream, not a sweet omelette! 
).
Return everything to the saucepan and thicken over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the cream coats the back of the spoon.
Let cool completely before adding the chilled heavy cream and mixing.
Place the mixture in an ice cream maker and churn until you get a creamy consistency. No ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a container, place in the freezer, and whisk every 30 minutes for 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.
2. Strawberry Coulis Blend the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice until you get a smooth coulis. Strain if you want a very fluid coulis (optional but it makes it more pro 
). Refrigerate.
3. Assembly and Tasting 
In a pretty bowl, place scoops of vanilla ice cream. Generously pour the strawberry coulis over the top. Add a few fresh raspberries, blueberries, and dark chocolate shavings for the final touch! Enjoy immediately (or freeze until serving time).
