5 ingredient Homemade Vanilla strawberry swirl icecream.

Ingredient for icecream:
5 organic egg yolks
1 organic cup heavy cream
1 organic cup milk (or sub with half an half)
2/3 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract or bean
Pinch of salt
(I used organic because I'm allergic to regular dairy)
First put your icecream maker attachment in the freezer for no less than 12 hours or overnight. The custard can be done on the same day so both will be ready to churn the following day.
Method:
Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
In a metal bowl combine yolks, salt and sugar and whisk until pale yellow.
Heat the half an half (milk/cream), when bubbles form at the sides remove from heat  and use a small amount (constantly whisking) to tempur yolks so as to not cook the yolks and end up with scrambled eggs.
Over the pot of simmering water place the metal bowl with icecream custard (yolk mixture) using a rubber spatula to stir until custard has thickened, I used the candy thermometer until it read 170°F, but the old way to know if the custard is ready is to use a wooden spoon dipped in the custard, then pass your fingers through and if it separates and stays that way then your custard is indeed ready to cool and chill in the fridge for no less than 6 hours or overnight.
On the following day remove and assemble ice cream maker, then starting on low speed, start pouring custard and let it churn slowly on medium for 20-30 minutes until custard resembles soft serve. Add strawberry swirl and use a toothpick to make desired art.
Pour icecream in an airtight container and freeze for 8 hours or until icecream has fully frozen.
Strawberry swirl/syrup ingredients:
2 cups strawberry, cubed
1/4 cup sugar
Juice of a lemon
1tbsp water
2 teaspoon cornstarch
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and strawberry and cook until juices are flowing out, :))
Combine remaining ingredients and add to strawberries and cook until thickened, less than a minute. Let it cool to add to the icecream. Enjoy! 
