Black Currant Ice Cream No Churn Recipes

BLACKBERRY CRUNCH NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place an 8-inch square pan in the freezer for 30 minutes. Combine the jam and blackberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the blackberries soften and the jam becomes liquidy, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Set aside. (Wash and dry the beaters.)
• Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with the hand-held mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream.
• Spoon half of the mixture into the frozen pan. Set aside some of the cookies to sprinkle on top. Sprinkle the cream mixture with half of the remaining crushed cookies and fold gently to incorporate the cookies in the cream. Spoon half of the jam on top and swirl with a wooden skewer or chopstick. Repeat the process with the remaining cream, jam and cookies. Sprinkle the reserved cookies on top.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. To serve, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping into serving bowls.

BLACKCURRANT NO-CHURN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place 400g of the blackcurrants in a large saucepan with the zest of 1 lemon and juice of ½, plus 4 tbsp water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 6-8 mins until the fruit has broken down and the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Pass the fruit through a sieve over a mixing bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the fruit and squeeze out all the juice, then discard the remaining stalks and pulp from the sieve, and set aside the liquid.
• Combine the double cream and condensed milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thickened but not stiff, then add the fruit and stir to combine. Tip into a freezer-proof container, cover with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hrs. Remove from the freezer 30 mins before serving, then serve in bowls topped with the remaining blackcurrants.
