Apricot Almond Ice Cream Domes Recipe

Ingredients for Apricot Almond Ice Cream Domes

• Dried Apricot Halves
• 1/4 cup apricot nectar
• Low Fat Vanilla Ice Cream
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds

How to Make Apricot Almond Ice Cream Domes

1. Line eight 1/2 cup capacity friand tins or mini loaf tins with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap extends beyond the edges for easy removal.
2. Combine 1 cup chopped fresh apricots and 1/4 cup apricot nectar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.
3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cooled apricot mixture into the bottom of each prepared tin.
5. In a separate bowl, gently fold 1 cup of remaining chopped apricots, the cooled apricot mixture from the saucepan, and 1/2 cup slivered almonds into 2 cups of your favorite sugar-free vanilla ice cream. (Ensure ice cream is softened slightly for easier mixing.)
6. Spoon the apricot-almond ice cream mixture evenly over the apricot base in each tin, smoothing the surface.
7. Freeze for at least 8 hours, or until completely firm.
8. Gently lift the ice cream domes from the tins, peeling away the plastic wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy!
