Some things you just can't escape


There are somethings in life that you just can't escape, the fact that your bills won't magically pay themselves and you do have to go to work, the fact that on a day you really need to be sunny its rainy in cold and for me that fact that no matter what you do everyone in your life loves strawberries even though I'm allergic to them. Yes that is right, I'll take the gasps now about how good they are and how much I'm missing out but guess what people its not by choice. I love how strawberries smell and how much everyone in my family loves them. So I do cook and bake with them because thank goodness I'm only allergic when I eat them not just handle them. So when I saw a sale on strawberries at the produce market. I bought 3 lbs and figured I would Make P something summery as we are both dying of lack of warm weather. So my mind went immediately to ice cream and to my go to ice cream book, The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. Honestly if you do not own this book please go and get it, its amazing. So while looking though the pages I saw a custard less ice cream and knew this was for me because I wanted to have it ready for P when he got home not have it sit in the fridge over night cooling. And I will tell you this was one easy ice cream and according to P it was good.

In the bowl of a food processor pulse together the strawberries and their liquid with the sour cream, heavy cream and lemon juice and process until it has a few chunks but is mainly smooth.
