Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 4 cups

Ingredients

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup water
5 1/4 cups hulled fresh strawberries (about three 12-ounce baskets), halved
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cold extra-dry Champagne
Fresh mint sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat; cool syrup completely.

    Step 2

    Purée 3 cups strawberries in blender just until smooth. Strain puree through fine strainer.

    Step 3

    Transfer sugar syrup and 1 1/2 cups strawberry purée to large bowl (reserve any remaining strawberry purée for another use). Stir in corn syrup, lemon juice and vanilla. Refrigerate mixture until cold, about 2 hours.

    Step 4

    Stir Champagne into strawberry mixture. Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer strawberry ice to container; freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep strawberry ice frozen. Cover and chill remaining strawberries.)

    Step 5

    Toss remaining 2 1/4 cups strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl. Let stand until juices form, about 1 hour. Divide strawberries among 6 dessert cups. Top each serving with 1 scoop strawberry ice. Garnish with mint.
