How to Make Gooseberry And Elderflower Ice Cream
- Top and tail 1 pound (450g) gooseberries. Wash thoroughly and place in a medium saucepan with 1/2 cup (100ml) water and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar.
- Cover the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the gooseberries break down into a pulp.
- Reduce heat to low, uncover the saucepan, and simmer the gooseberry pulp for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the pulp to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or lumps. Set aside to cool completely.
- Once the puree is cold, stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) elderflower cordial and 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream.
- Mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- (Optional) For an extra-smooth texture, churn the ice cream halfway through the freezing process using an ice cream maker, then refreeze. This step helps to reduce ice crystal formation.
