Gather a few simple ingredients.

Warm milk, cream, sugar, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Let steep for one hour.

(This helps develop the wonderful lemony flavor of the ice cream base. Don’t skimp on this step.)

Rewarm the cream mixture and slowly whisk into the egg yolks. Return to pan; bring to a boil and continue cooking until the mixture thickens.

Pour the thickened egg mixture into the reserved 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and combine thoroughly.

Before freezing in ice cream maker, chill the base mixture.

Simmer sugar, lemon juice, and half of the strawberries in a saucepan until the mixture thickens. Stir in the remaining strawberries and chill.

Follow the directions for your ice cream maker to freeze the lemon infused base mixture.

In a chilled freezer safe dish, spread a layer of the ice cream in the bottom. Top with the strawberry sauce. Cover strawberry sauce with more ice cream and place in the freezer for several hours or until frozen.
