Very good. Didn’t have fresh basil so omitted and will use next time. The meanwhile step is possible lol. Mix dairy ingredients and start to chill. While chilling, process the strawberries then remove dairy ingredients from the refrigerator add the strawberries and finish chilling. It’s just ice cream 😊

1st six ingredients in Step 1 include the strawberries while Step 2 is a “meanwhile” step and also includes the strawberries. Not possible.
