To Make Fruit Ice-creams

Ingredients

Directions

Prepare the fruit

  1. Use well-ripened fruit.

  2. Remove it from the stalks and place it in a large bowl.

  3. Mash the fruit with a wooden spoon until well broken down.

  4. Rub the mashed fruit through a fine sieve to extract the juice.

  5. Sweeten the fruit juice with powdered sugar to your liking.

Make and freeze the ice cream

  1. Whip the cream for a few minutes until it thickens.

  2. Combine the whipped cream with the fruit juice and whisk together for another 5 minutes.

  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

What each ingredient does

Fruit juice
Provides the main flavour and liquid base of the ice cream.
Cream
Whipped to add richness and a smooth, creamy texture when frozen.

The step that matters

Whip the cream until it thickens. Whipping traps air in the cream's fat network, giving the frozen ice cream lightness. Under-whipped cream leaves it dense, while over-whipping can turn it grainy or buttery.
