Fruited Ice Cream Recipes

FOOLPROOF HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mash the berries, or peeled and sliced peaches with a potato masher or process in your blender or food processor. Process until a consistency you like.
• Add all the ingredients to your ice cream freezer and churn! Churn in a 1 gallon ice cream freezer. Make half a batch if your freezer is smaller than a gallon.
• Allow the ice cream to sit in the ice cream maker until time to serve.

FRESH FRUIT ICE CREAM IN A BAGGIE

Steps:

• Combine the half and half, sugar, vanilla, and strawberries in a quart size resealable plastic bag. Press the air out of the bag, seal, and shake bag to combine contents. Place the bag into a gallon sized zip top bag. Add the ice to the gallon bag, press the air out, and seal bag.
• Wrap bags in a hand towel. Shake continuously, until the contents of the small bag thickens into soft-serve ice cream, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Rinse the small bag quickly under cold water to wash off salt. Lay the ice cream filled baggie on a flat surface. Use a wooden spoon handle to push the ice cream down to the bottom corner of the baggie. Snip off the corner, and squeeze ice cream into a bowl.

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!

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:

• 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.

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.
