What each ingredient does

Cream
Provides fat, which gives the ice cream its rich, smooth, creamy texture.
Mashed fruit
Adds flavour, sweetness and moisture to the base.

The step that matters

Chill the mixture before churning. A cold base freezes faster in the ice cream maker, forming smaller ice crystals and a smoother texture. A warm mixture churns poorly and can freeze grainy.
