Mulberry ice cream?
Recipe, por favor.
Is this the leading edge of yet another wave of messageboard refugees?
I see the kitty is back.
It might be. Who can say? And what can I say? Catz has friends!
Now, Mulberry ice... (can you cope with metric?)
500g fresh mulberries
200g sugar
100ml licor de Mora (if you can't get it, use vodka)
400ml double cream
a couple of leaves of fresh mint
- Steep the mulberries in the licor (or vodka) mint leaves and sugar overnight
- Whip the cream until not quite stiff
- Remove the mint leaves and strain the fruit
- Return half of the liquid back to the fruit and whizz up with a hand blender or in a liquidiser until smooth
- fold the fruit into the cream with a metal (not a wooden) spoon and then pour it into an ice cream maker. Leave running for 20 minutes
- Place in the freezer and leave overnight
- When you serve it, drizzle a little of the remaining fruit and liquor over the top
If you haven't got an ice cream maker put the mix into a plastic container and place in the freezer. Take it out every 15 minutes and whip to break up the ice crystals. Do this for about one-and-a-half hours. Then leave overnight.
It goes great with almond cake!
Yum! I will try this next spring when my mulberry tree bears fruit again.
Thanks!
