NECTARINE ICE CREAM



Nectarine Ice Cream image

This is midsummer in a spoon. My family used to make this in large quantities in a hand crank ice cream maker, but I've scaled the recipe down for a small KitchenAid ice cream maker. Any ripe stone fruit (ie. Apricots, peaches etc) can be used for the nectarines.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs nectarines
1 dash salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 dash vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Shred, macerate, and smush the stone fruit. Add the salt and a little less than 1/3 of a cup sugar (to taste, add more if you like it sweet). Set aside in the fridge to come together.
  • Vigorously mix the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla together, and pop in the freezer to chill.
  • Put the milk mixture into the pre-frozen KitchenAid ice cream maker (it needs to pre-freeze for at least 24 hours to work), and churn it for 5 mins at #2 speed. Increase speed to #4 for 5-7 minutes Add the fruit mixture and churn at #1 till it's mixed in, then churn at #2 for five more minutes. Now you have soft serve. Stick the ice cream in the freezer for 1-2 hours for harder ice cream.

Tips:

  • Fresh Nectarines: Use ripe and juicy nectarines for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh nectarines, you can use frozen or canned nectarines, but the flavor may not be as intense.
  • Sugar Adjustment: Taste the nectarine mixture before freezing. If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add more sugar or honey to taste.
  • Heavy Cream and Milk: Use full-fat heavy cream and milk for a richer, creamier ice cream. You can substitute low-fat or non-fat dairy products, but the ice cream will be less creamy.
  • Churning Time: Keep an eye on the ice cream while it's churning. It should be thick and creamy, but not too hard. If the ice cream is too hard, it will be difficult to scoop.
  • Freezing Time: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This nectarine ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make, and the results are worth the effort. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, this ice cream is sure to be a hit. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and cold, give this nectarine ice cream a try.
