Roasted Plum Ice Cream
Fresh plums roasted to perfection, then blended a smooth puree and combined with ginger orange cream to make the most delicious plum ice cream you've ever tasted.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ripe plum
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp raw ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup half and half
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- Program the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the plums in half, remove the pith from them and place them onto a rimmed parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, sea salt and bake them for 20 minutes until they are tender and the juices have been released.
- Let the roasted plums sit for 5 minutes and place the minced ginger, heavy cream, half and half, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest into a saucepot.
- Heat the cream mixture for 4-5 minutes until the sugar crystals dissolve, then pour it into a sieve set over a bowl.
- Place the roasted plums into a blender along with 1/2 cup of ginger-infused cream and blend it into a smooth puree.
- Pour the pureed plums into a sieve set over a bowl, and throw away the pulp. Stir in the ginger-infused cream, cover it, and refrigerate it for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.
- Churn the roasted plum ice cream base into an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the roasted plum ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze it for 3-4 hours.
Notes
- If using frozen plums, adjust the baking time to 25-30 minutes to allow the extra moisture to evaporate and the plums to dry out a bit more.
