3 cups Strawberries washed, hulled and halved
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Vanilla Sugar ( save used vanilla beans and add to containers of sugar)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar ( reserve 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste ( extract can used as well)
2 tablespoons Creme de Noyaux
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups Sour Cream
1 cup Half and Half
Prepare Freezer Bowl according to ice Cream makers instructions.
Line a baking sheet with lips with aluminum foil. Spread the halved strawberries. Combine Vanilla Sugar and 1 cup of granulated sugar . Sprinkle over the berries. Drizzle the Balsamic Vinegar over the berries and sugar. Roast at 400 F until the sugar dissolves and the juices start to bubble and caramelize. This will take about 15 minutes or so. Remove from the oven and carefully pour into a bowl. Using a strainer separate the the berries from the juices, while mushing them slightly. Set aside the mashed berries in one small container and allow the hot strawberry sugar balsamic juice to cool in another container. Add vanilla paste or extract and the Creme de Noyaux. Set Aside.
In a bowl or stand mixer mix the whole milk and remaining 1/4 cup sugar for a few minutes on low speed. Add the Sour Cream and half & half. Mix well. While mixing, add the Berry Juices, and mashed berries. Pour the mixture into the freezer bowl and churn for 25 minutes. It will be a soft consistency. Pour and spread into loaf pans and cover . Freeze for several more hours in the freezer until ready to serve.
Since I have been an ice cream making crazy woman lately….I am all over this. This ice cream with my balsamic strawberry truffles? That's what life is all about. 😉
That sounds so good. I tink I am going to have to parle that into a sauce for the ice cream.

It's sounds and looks so delicious!
Thanks for sharing this one. I can't wait to try this.
I so need an icecream maker! That last photo has me wishing I had a bowl of this. Sounds wonderful!
What a clever idea – I love fresh strawberries, balsamic and black pepper. Will have to wait for September to make this though.
What a unique ice cream flavor! It must taste really good!
Cheers,

Even with winter on our doorstep, this ice-cream looks most flavorsome with those roasted strawberries…
Oh Courtney, this is one sexy ice cream…I want a serving with one of those cylindrical cookies sticking out!
This is gorgeous with some amazing flavors!!!
Oh, wow, that looks fabulous! I think I might have to try this – so much for trying to "cut back" for the sake of my summer fashions, lol.
Roasting the berries is a great idea. That's the clincher!
I really want to try strawberry and balsamic – but I'm never brave enough!
Roasted. Strawberry. Balsamic – you know how to turns heads and awaken appetites.
My goodness, I don't think I've ever seen a more decadent strawberry flavour…
