Ingredients
Scale
- 450 gr. ripe fresh apricots
- 125 ml water
- 80 gr. sugar
- 250 gr. whipping cream (33-35%)
- 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2–3 drops almond/vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and remove the pits of the apricots and cut them in six wedges each;
- Place apricots and water in a saucepan (preferably non-reactive) and cook at medium heat until the apricots are tender (around 6-8 mins);
- Remove from the heat and add sugar, stirring until it dissolves;
- Cool at room temperature.
- When the mixture has cooled down, use a blender or a food processor to make a smooth puree (it shouldn’t have any fibers, if there are some, the puree can be strained);
- Stir in the cream, the lime juice and optionally the almond or vanilla extract;
- Chill the mixture in the fridge.
- Prepare your ice-cream machine at gelato or ice-cream setting (if available) and churn the ice-cream.
Notes
- Almond extract is very strong and can take over the flavour of your ice-cream, use it wisely!
