1
In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with cream and milk.
2
Bring to a simmer; turn off heat.
3
Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
4
Whisking constantly, slowly add about half (a cup or so) of hot cream mixture to yolks.
5
Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining cream.
6
Cook, stirring constantly, over moderately low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 7 minutes: do not let it come to a simmer or it will curdle.
7
Immediately strain custard into a clean bowl.
8
Whisk in sour cream, vanilla and salt.
9
Cover custard tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
10
About an hour before you want to serve ice cream, combine strawberries and brown sugar in a bowl for 15 minutes.
11
Transfer berries and accumulated juices to a skillet and bring just to a simmer.
12
Remove from heat and stir in brandy.
13
Use a slotted spoon to transfer berries to a bowl.
14
Simmer juices in skillet until syrupy, about 5 minutes.
15
Pour syrup over strawberries.
16
Chill mixture in freezer until thoroughly cool but not frozen (15 to 30 minutes).
17
Churn custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
18
When ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a bowl and swirl in the strawberry mixture with a quick folding action (you want to see red and white swirls, not pink).
19
Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
