Making refreshing homemade ice cream with fresh fruit is a delightful way to beat the summer heat. The secret to creating creamy, flavourful fruit ice cream is choosing ripe, juicy fruit and combining it with a rich custard base.
Ingredients
2 cups of chopped fruit of your choice 2 cups of heavy cream 1 cup of whole milk 1/2 cup of granulated sugar 4 large egg yolks
Step 1
Wash and hull the fruits before chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar and heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam, and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks while whisking continuously. This tempers the yolks, so they do not scramble when mixed with the hot liquid.
Step 4
Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture while continuing to whisk. Cook over medium-low, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly.
Step 5
Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any bits of cooked egg. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled for at least 4 hours.
Step 6
Take out the frozen batter, cut it into chunks and blend it in a blender until you get an ice cream-like texture. Scoop it out into bowls, top it up with fruits and serve chilled.
