Fruit Ice Cream Recipes

FAST AND FRUITY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the frozen fruit in a food processor with the Greek yogurt, heavy cream and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the chopped chocolate and pulse until the chocolate pieces have become small bits. Serve immediately in bowls and garnish with shaved dark chocolate over the top.

PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit juice, vanilla and salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
• In a bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, pour cold heavy cream and process on low speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Scoop half the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture and gently fold.
• Add condensed milk/whipped cream mixture to the remaining whipped cream. Fold again and pour the mixture into an ice cream tub. Level it out with a spatula, cover and transfer to the freezer for 5-6 hours or until frozen.

FIVE MINUTE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the frozen strawberries and sugar in a food processor or blender. Process until the fruit is roughly chopped. With the processor running, slowly pour in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately, or freeze for up to one week.

SUPER-EASY FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mash or purée the strawberries and mango in two separate bowls. In another bowl, add the lemon juice and the banana and mash.
• Beat the condensed milk and cream in a large bowl with an electric whisk until thick and quite stiff, a bit like clotted cream. Divide the mixture between the three bowls. Fold a fruit purée into each. Transfer each one into a freezer container and freeze until solid.
• Purée the kiwi and sieve out any seeds if you like. Serve a scoop of each ice cream in bowls or sundae dishes and top with the kiwi sauce, sprinkles, or the chopped fruit.

PASSION-FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together sugar and eggs. Heat cream in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it just reaches a boil, then add hot cream to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan.
• Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until it registers 170°F on an instant-read or candy thermometer (do not let boil). Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool completely. Stir in passion-fruit pulp, then chill, covered, until cold.
• Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
• Available in Latino markets.

FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the frozen fruit and frozen bananas in a blender or a food processor.
• Then add in the water.
• Blend or process on high speed for a few minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
• You can enjoy the ice cream as is or you can move the mixture to a freezer safe container (like a loaf pan) and freeze for 2-3 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up if you prefer.
• Then the ice cream is ready to serve and enjoy!

JACK'S FRUIT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan heat milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean over medium high heat to a simmer. Turn heat down to medium.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs yolks, sugar, and salt. Sugar will dissolve when heated.
• Slowly dizzle this egg/sugar mixture into the simmering milk mixture and whisk. Combining these too quickly will result in "scrambled eggs."
• After you have added these two mixtures together, reduce the heat to a medium low temperature.
• Remove the vanilla bean and split lengthwise scraping out seeds. Return the pod and the seeds back to the pot. I like to add several drops of food coloring at this point.
• Continue to stir until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Strain mixture through a fine-holed strainer, discarding the vanilla pod and refrigerate the mixture over night.
• Follow manufacturer's instruction for your ice cream maker, and let the fun begin.
• Meanwhile, drain the jackfruit and pulse it gently in your processor. We want small pieces of fruit for the ice cream.
• After about 15 minutes into freezing your ice cream add small pieces of jackfruit to the mixture.
• Serve your ice cream at your next dinner party and enjoy the mystery when your friends/family try to guess the secret ingredient! The flavor is both refreshing and delicious. Enjoy!

HOME-CHURNED ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Wash the can, lid, and dasher of a tall 1-gallon electric or hand-cranked ice cream churn with hot soapy water. Rinse with cool water. In a bowl, mix the custard with the fruit. Set the dasher into the freezer can and pour in the fruit and custard. Add milk to within 3 inches of the top of the can or to the fill line marked on your freezer can. Put the lid on the can and place it in the freezer pail, making sure to center the can on the raised can rest in the bottom. Put several handfuls of ice around the can to hold it upright. Attach the motor or hand crank.
• Start the motor of an electric churn and begin packing the space around the can with ice and salt, starting with about 4 inches ice and then adding about 4 ounces (1/2 cup) rock salt. Continue adding ice and salt in this manner until the ice reaches the top but does not cover the top of the can. Add 1 cup cold water to help the ice begin to melt. The freezer pail should be placed in a large pan or sink so the salt water that drains out does not damage surfaces. Make sure the drainage hole stays open.
• Freezing takes 20 to 30 minutes. Add more ice and salt as needed. An electric churn will stop when the ice cream is frozen. If the motor stalls too soon, unplug it and check to be sure no ice is caught between the bottom of the can and the freezer. Do this by using your hands to force the can to turn and then restart the churn. A hand churn takes about the same amount of time; you will know it is frozen when the churn becomes very difficult to turn.
• Wipe away any ice and salt from the lid of the can and carefully remove the lid. Pushing down on the can, carefully pull out the dasher, scraping any clinging ice cream back into the can. At this stage, the ice cream is soft. Put the provided cork stopper into the hole in the lid and replace the lid.
• Harden the ice cream by adding more ice and salt to the freezer bucket, completely covering the can and securely corked lid. Cover the freezer with a heavy towel or newspaper layers and store the churn in a cool place until ready to serve. If you are not serving the ice cream within 1 hour, remove the towel and pack more ice and salt in the freezer pail. Dispose of the salt water in an area away from grass or plants. Scrub and rinse the pail thoroughly to avoid rust.
