Ingredients

  • 250g crème fraîche (full fat works best but low-fat also works)

  • 140g frozen fruit

Method

  1. You will need a food processor, stand mixer or an electric whisk for this as it’s too hard to blend them together by hand.

  2. In a large bowl, pour in the crème fraîche and start whisking on low. Add the frozen fruit bit by bit. It will get a bit “clunky” so increase the speed to just below medium and whisk until you see the mixture beginning to take on the texture of ice cream. The berries will break down in the mixing process.

  3. You can now serve the quick ice cream OR you can spoon it into a heat-proof bowl with a lid and freeze it for another day. It lasts for about 30 days in the freezer providing you’ve well insulated the bowl. Personally I serve it straight away with added berries on top for texture. If you were feeling particularly bold you could have it in an ice cream cone but I’ve been known to eat it with a spoon directly from the mixing bowl
