I got inspired to make this recipe on a beautiful hot summer's day, right in the middle of the strawberry season when they were just perfect to use in my tasty summer desserts.
As I did not have an ice cream maker and wanted a recipe that didn't take too long to make, Other than having to wait patiently for it to set of course. I recommend leaving it to set in the freezer for 6-8 hours. I usually make it the day before and leave it in the freezer overnight.
