Melon Ice Cream Recipes

EASY MELON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Tip the cream and sugar into a pan. Bring to the boil, stir until the sugar has dissolved, then turn off the heat. Tip the melon into a food processor with the lemon juice, blitz until smooth, then pour the cream onto the melon and blitz again.
• Pour the mix into an ice-cream machine and churn until thick and semi-frozen, then transfer to a freezerproof container and freeze. Serve the ice cream scooped into a bowl with fresh raspberries.

MELON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
• Add the cantaloupe to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Strain the cantaloupe puree with a sieve, reserving the liquid, and discarding the fibrous pulp. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
• Add the milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
• Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.
• Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
• Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
• Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
• Add in the cantaloupe puree and stir until incorporated.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until cold.
• Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer's instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
• Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
