2. 2Place over simmering water.
3. 3Beat with a hand mixer (unless you are in for a whisking workout) for about 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens. You are basically going for lemon curd here.
4. 4Let the curd cool a bit and then add in your half-and-half.
5. 5Cover this with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or until thoroughly cold.
6. 6Thinly slice 1 pint of strawberries (tops removed) and toss with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
7. 7Let the strawberries sit for at least 2 hours.
8. 8When your custard, your strawberries and your ice cream machine are ready, pour the strawberries and their liquid into the custard base.
9. 9Mix well.
10. 10Freeze according to your machine instructions. It will come out frozen but soft.
11. 11If you like your ice cream firmer, then put it in the freezer for a few hours.
12. 12Serve as-is or garnish with a lemon slice.
