Thermomix custard: place coconut cream, second lot of sugar and egg yolks and set to cook for 7 minutes, 90 degrees, speed #4. Thermomix directions: process cooled blackberries in the Thermomix Speed #4, 20 seconds. Mix with the blackberries until you get a uniform purple colour. Place some cling film directly on top of the custard and allow to cool completely. It will take a few minutes to thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Then knock the heat back to low and add the egg mixture into the coconut cream and stir to form a custard. Creamy vanilla ice cream is swirled with a blackberry sauce and plenty of sweet biscuit chunks in this Southern Blackberry Cobbler Ice Cream. While it is heating whisk the egg yolks and sugar until combined. Step 2 - Heat the coconut cream on the stovetop until just starting to simmer. You can also pass this mixture through a sieve if you don't like the pips (sieving it gives it a much smoother texture than pictured). Cool completely and then process until smooth. Toss the blackberries in the first lot of sugar and place on a baking tray and bake at 200C/400F for 15 minutes. This helps the ice cream to get a vivid, strong colour. 1/3 cup/50g/1.7ozs crystallised ginger, cubed.500g/1.1lbs blackberries (fresh or frozen).

Preparation time: 5 minutes plus freezing time So tell me Dear Reader, do you make ice cream often? Do you have an ice cream churner? Also do you have a favourite method? I guess he wasn't used to people being so excited about food (that Finnish reserve I guess!). He was also delighted by our delight at eating Finnish bear claws. Suddenly, he understood every word that I said and we were all completely stunned by the turnaround. He and I weren't able to communicate until one morning when I decided to speak English to him but in Mr NQN's mother's sing song accent. Esko was a mathematician who worked for the Finnish government who I remember for a few things. It was a sombre Christmas Day for Mr NQN and his family. He had suffered a heart attack a few days earlier and then passed away in hospital. On Christmas Day we also got the news that Mr NQN's uncle had passed away in Finland. The Elliott family celebration was cancelled due to the gathering numbers and the fact that Mr NQN's direct family mostly live on the Northern Beaches. This past Christmas we only had one Christmas celebration. Strawberry, vanilla & coconut works well raspberry & white chocolate works really well and blueberry, lemon & basil works nicely. I like using the French method for coconut ice cream to make it smoother and creamier.ĭon't have fresh blackberries? You can use frozen or any other berry that you like. This third method has a dense, very creamy texture to the ice cream. But it’s the perfect treat to enjoy as a dessert or during a hot summer afternoon when you don’t feel like cooking but are craving for something delicious.1 - You can make ice cream by whipping cream and sugar together and freezing it.Ģ - You can also make a creamy ice cream by whipping cream and adding a tin of sweetened condensed milk to it and freezing it (my favourite if I am in a hurry).ģ - You can make a custard base of eggs, cream and sugar which is the Crème Anglaise method (my favourite for a creamy texture).Īll of these methods do not require an ice cream churner. I must warn you though: this fruity ice cream is no gelato, not a super creamy decadent ice cream either. So it’s like having an ice cream and a sorbet all at the same time. Creamy? Yes, it is, but there are bites in which you get chunks of frozen berries. It’s made with frozen evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, frozen blackberry concentrated juice and fresh blackberries. It is sunny most of the time, you can feel the Miami heat 24/7 and sunsets are already past 8 pm… Blackberries and raspberries are in season and being sold at derisory prices! So why don’t we treat ourselves with a delicious homemade ice cream with seasonal ingredients? And the best part: you don’t need an ice cream maker and it’s done in 15 minutes plus overnight in the freezer. It’s so easy to make, that you will thank me after reading this.
