Effortless Grape Juice Ice Cream (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
150 grams white sugar
02 -
240 ml whole milk
03 -
240 ml heavy cream
04 -
480 ml grape juice (make sure it's 100% and no sugar added)
→ Flavor Boosters
05 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice (totally up to you)
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (your call)
# Instructions:
01 -
Dump your grape juice, throw in the sugar and lemon juice if you're feeling it, and stir it all up until the sugar vanishes. Next, pour in your milk, cream, and vanilla if you want. Whisk well so it's smooth and blended.
02 -
Once it's mixed, pour it into your ice cream maker. Run it by following your machine's book; it typically takes about 20-25 mins until it's creamy but still a bit soft. Scoop it into a tight-sealing freezer container, slap a lid on, and leave it in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours so it firms up.
03 -
If you haven't got an ice cream maker, just pour your mixture into a wide, freezer-proof dish. Let it freeze for 45 mins then mash it up with a fork or spoon. Keep doing this every half hour over 3 - 4 hrs, so you smash up the icy bits and keep it nice and creamy. Freeze until it's as solid as you like.
04 -
Take it out about 5 minutes before you want to eat, so it’s not rock hard. Scoop some into a cone or bowl and dig in.
# Notes:
01 -
If your grape juice is super sweet, cutting down the sugar to 100 grams is totally fine.
02 -
Want it dairy-free? Use coconut milk or almond milk instead of cream and milk.
03 -
The longer you freeze (at least 6 hours or all night), the firmer it’ll be.
04 -
Toss in chocolate chips, crumbled cookies or swirl in yogurt if you want some bite or extra flavor.
05 -
Keep it in a closed container in your freezer and it'll stay fresh for around 2-3 weeks.
