Ingredients

  • 1 tin Del Monte peach halves, drained, reserve 1 half for garnishing
  • 200ml low fat cream, chilled
  • 75ml honey or sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1tsp pure vanilla extract or vodka

Method

  1. Place all ingredients in bowl of food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust honey / sugar if required.
  2. Place in ice cream machine and set according to manufacturers instructions.
  3. If you don’t have an ice cream machine, set in a freezer safe dish, and whisk every hour to break down and distribute crystals. Leave to set overnight.
  4. Variations: You can chop 2-3 peach halves and stir through the ice cream once it is beginning to set
  5. Add a chopped mango before blending to get a taste variation.

 

Note: Vodka helps ensure that ice cream doesn’t set rock hard (vodka doesn’t freeze)
