Mary Cadogan's blueberry, coconut & lime ice cream

No comments
This deliciously zingy ice cream is really worth making as you can't buy it in the shops
 

Ingredients

  • 2 limes
  • 140g golden caster sugar
  • 125g punnet blueberries
  • 200ml coconut cream
  • 284ml double cream
  • extra blueberries to serve
Serves: 6 Preparation: 25   Total Time: 25min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Finely grate the zest of one lime and squeeze the juice from both. Put in a small pan with the sugar and heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the blueberries and simmer for two minutes, just until the skins start to split.
  2. Pour the blueberry mixture into a bowl and stir in the coconut cream. Leave to cool. Whip the cream in a large bowl until it just holds its shape, then gradually stir in the blueberry mixture. Put the bowl in the freezer for about hour, until the mixture is set about m in from the edges.
  3. Remove from the freezer and mix it all together using a whisk. When it's fairly smooth, return to the freezer for a further hour, then repeat the whisking one more time. Transfer the ice cream to a rigid container, cover and freeze until firm. Before serving, move to the fridge for minutes to soften. Serve with extra blueberries scattered on the top.
