Blackcurrant Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 450g of fresh or frozen blackcurrants
• 175g sugar
• 275ml double cream
• 275ml full fat milk
• 3 egg yolks

Method

1. Put the blackcurrants in a heavy based pan with a little water and simmer until soft.
2. I use a Kenwood seive to squeeze the currant mixture through into a smooth paste without the seeds.
3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light in colour
4. Heat the milk and double cream until just under boiling point.
5. Add the milk and double cream to the egg and sugar mixture and mix well.
6. Add the blackcurrant paste and mix well.
7. I use an ice cream maker and it produces a smooth and creamy ice cream.

You can also use loganberries, red currants or raspberries to produce different flavours.
