“Strawberry Shortcake” Ice Cream Bars

Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars like the ones from the Ice Cream truck, but fresh and homemade!

Ingredients

  • 1 Pint Whole Milk
  • 1 Pint Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 45 Grams Milk Powder
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 Pound Strawberries
  • 1 Pint Heavy Cream
  • 1 Pint Whole Milk
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 90 Grams Milk Powder
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • Pinch Salt
  • 3 Sticks Butter
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3.5 Cups Flour
  • Pinch Salt

Instructions

  • For the vanilla ice cream, mix a quart of cream with a quart of milk and 2 cups sugar. Heat to steaming but not simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in 90 grams of milk powder (a 1 quart packet). Let cool fully and freeze in your ice cream maker.
  • For the strawberry ice cream, puree 2 lbs of strawberries and strain to remove seeds and any chunks. Heat 1 quart cream, 1 cup milk, and 2 cups sugar to steaming but not simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in 180 grams of milk powder (two 1 quart packets.) Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and whisk in the strawberry puree. Cool fully and freeze in your ice cream maker.
  • For the cookies, mix 3 sticks of butter with 1 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix in 3 and a half cups of flour and some salt. Form a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cut rounds off the log and bake at 350 for about a half hour until hardened but not really browned.
  • Then it's just a matter of making the things. Spread out the vanilla on a plate, put down your sticks, and top with the strawberry. Allow to harden, cut, and roll in the crushed cookies. I dabbed on additional strawberry puree to make them look more like the packaged kind.
