This no-churn ice cream is so easy and quick to prepare that you will love it! Few ingredients for a delicious and refreshing dessert. I used plums and blackberries because they are in season,but you can swap them with strawberries, raspberries or blueberries, fresh or frozen. If you use fresh fruit remember to choose ripe and juicy fruits because they give more flavour to your ice cream.
Making no-churn ice creams is very simple.
- Start boiling the fruit with sugar and lemon juice until soft.
- Puree the mixture using a hand blender.
- Pass through a sieve to get rid of skin and seeds and cool down completely.
- Whip the cream and blend it with the fruit puree.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours stirring it with a fork every 30 minutes.
- Once frozen take it out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
For a lighter and healthier ice cream, instead of 400 grams of double cream you can use 200 grams of yogurt and 200 grams of double cream. And if you are vegan you can substitute them with dairy free/plant based products.
