I can’t wait to get my fill of them later this summer. I normally forage loads of them from my parents blackberry bush that is almost annoyingly too big for my dad to handle but I convinced him to let it be and allow it to take over it’s own big section of his garden. I decided to pair it with blackberries - normally a late summer fruit here locally but available all year round. It was delicious and I wanted to use the extra on more than just toast so I decided I would make some ice cream with it. I recently made some lilac honey which I used with my buttermilk honey scones. A simple creamy ice cream is so simple to make at home and there are so many delicious ways to customize the flavours and add ins. It requires no custard and no ice cream machine or fancy equipment. Then the blackberries are macerated and mashed with honey and swirled through the base. The ice cream base is made with 3 basic ingredients. Step 3 - When ready to eat, place the ice cream in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to ripen it so that it scoops well.This simple to make creamy and delicious no churn ice cream takes less than 15 minutes to prepare with swirls of berry throughout it. Thermomix custard: place coconut cream, second lot of sugar and egg yolks and set to cook for 7 minutes, 90 degrees, speed #4. Thermomix directions: process cooled blackberries in the Thermomix Speed #4, 20 seconds. Mix with the blackberries until you get a uniform purple colour. Place some cling film directly on top of the custard and allow to cool completely. It will take a few minutes to thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Then knock the heat back to low and add the egg mixture into the coconut cream and stir to form a custard. While it is heating whisk the egg yolks and sugar until combined. Step 2 - Heat the coconut cream on the stovetop until just starting to simmer. You can also pass this mixture through a sieve if you don't like the pips (sieving it gives it a much smoother texture than pictured). Cool completely and then process until smooth. Toss the blackberries in the first lot of sugar and place on a baking tray and bake at 200C/400F for 15 minutes.

Do you have an ice cream churner? Also do you have a favourite method? I guess he wasn't used to people being so excited about food (that Finnish reserve I guess!). He was also delighted by our delight at eating Finnish bear claws. Suddenly, he understood every word that I said and we were all completely stunned by the turnaround. He and I weren't able to communicate until one morning when I decided to speak English to him but in Mr NQN's mother's sing song accent. Esko was a mathematician who worked for the Finnish government who I remember for a few things. It was a sombre Christmas Day for Mr NQN and his family. He had suffered a heart attack a few days earlier and then passed away in hospital. On Christmas Day we also got the news that Mr NQN's uncle had passed away in Finland. The Elliott family celebration was cancelled due to the gathering numbers and the fact that Mr NQN's direct family mostly live on the Northern Beaches. This past Christmas we only had one Christmas celebration. Strawberry, vanilla & coconut works well raspberry & white chocolate works really well and blueberry, lemon & basil works nicely. I like using the French method for coconut ice cream to make it smoother and creamier.ĭon't have fresh blackberries? You can use frozen or any other berry that you like.
