No Ice Cream machine is needed to make this absolutely delicious No Churn Berry Swirl Ice Cream. It is made using our delicious no churn vanilla ice cream base and swirled with delicious berry compote. This is one that is definitely worth making
Ingredients
3 Large egg yolks
125g of Caster Sugar (Super fine white Sugar)
1 Tbsp of Icing Sugar (powdered or confectioners sugar)
500g of Thickened Cream (Heavy Cream or Whipping Cream) Keep in the fridge until using *Note 1
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Essence
2-4 Tbsp of Berry Compote (Recipe here)
Directions
Make your Berry Compote the day before so it is completely cooled and ready to add. The full recipe for that is here
Separate your egg whites from your egg yolks. *Note 2
Add your egg yolks and caster sugar into a bowl, don’t let them sit there too long just pop them in and mix as the sugar can change/cook the egg yolks if let to sit too long. Mix the egg yolks and sugar together with a whisk attachment or hand held beaters until they are light in colour and nice and fluffy. Approx. 8 minutes* Note 3
Whip your cream, vanilla and icing sugar until it becomes firm peaks
Once both are done fold your yolk mixture into your cream, we don’t want to mix this roughly we need to fold as we don’t want to deflate our cream. I do this in 2 parts to make it easier I add half of the yolks, fold them in and then add the other half in. You want to fold it through until there is no yellow streaks left
Once it is mixes add in your berry compote, add about 2 tbsp (feel free to add more if you like) lightly mix around. I wanted to still have swirls of it throughout but you can fully mix if you like
Once it is mixed get your container, add a ¼ of the ice-cream, then add some more compote, swirl very lightly with a knife. Then add more ice-cream and repeat until it is all done. Adding a last swirl of the berry compote on top. Cover and pop in the freezer to fully set. I use these ice-cream containers linked here I got from Amazon. I really like them. If using a container from home use one that is the right size and not too much air insight otherwise it can go icy. Leave in the freezer to set overnight or 24 hours.
One it is set after 24 hours you can serve and enjoy with your favourite toppings. You can use a spoon dunked in hot water to help get it out this ice-cream will set firmer but is delicious and creamy. Keep it in the freezer it can last up to 3-6 months. For best texture eat within a couple of weeks but you can definitely keep it longer
