Suddenly, without really noticing it, Spring is giving way to Summer here, and OK so I still need to put on a sweater when I walk the dogs in the morning, by lunch time it is well, almost summer. At about the same time as this spate of good weather arrived, I had to good fortune to come across a yummy recipe below (originally from Mary Cadogan of Good Food fame) that I have adapted a bit. You don't need an ice cream maker to make this, but it helps...
Ingredients
140g golden caster sugar
125g blueberries
200ml coconut cream (I usually use for curries, so this is a nice change)
284ml double cream (can't get that here - substitute 34% fat Creme Fraiche)
1 Lime
ice cream maker
How To....
1. Grate the lime zest into a pan with the blueberries and sugar. heat for a couple of minutes until the berries start to soften. Take off the heat and cool.
2. Combine the coconut cream and cream fraiche in a bowl and beat together. Add the cooled berry mixture to the creamy mass.
3. Get you ice cream maker set up an running - and pour the mixture into the bowl. Let it turn for about 20 mins or until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour your yummy mixture into a plastic tub and whack it in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours, taking only the slightest spoonful to taste before you do.
Mmmm! This sounds like a perfect, refreshing summer treat! ~Val
