Method
 

Roasted Strawberries
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and hull the strawberries, place them on the baking sheet, then sprinkle with sugar and lime zest.
  3. Roast the strawberries for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through until soft and juicy.
  4. Let the roasted strawberries cool slightly, then puree or mash them to desired consistency.
Ice Cream Base
  1. Combine heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
  2. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar until frothy, then temper with a small amount of warm cream.
  3. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat, add basil leaves, and steep for 15 minutes before straining.
  5. Blend in the strawberry puree, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until uniform.
  6. Chill the mixture in a refrigerator-safe bowl for at least 4 hours.
  7. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
