Ah, vanilla apricot ice cream ! It's the perfect combination: the sweetness of the vanilla blends so well with the slightly tart and fruity flavor of the apricot. If you're looking for a refreshing dessert bursting with summery flavors, this ice cream is for you. With Ninja Creami, you get a smooth texture that literally melts in your mouth—a real treat.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of whole milk (for a rich texture)
- 100 ml of full-fat liquid cream (that's the secret to perfect creaminess!)
- 100g of fresh or frozen apricots (pitted)
- 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust according to your taste)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (or the seeds from a vanilla pod, even better!)
- A pinch of salt (it enhances the flavors, a little something extra that makes all the difference)
Preparation :
- Prepare the vanilla apricot base.
Start by blending the apricots with the whole milk, cream, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. The combination of vanilla and apricots is a true taste of summer. Blend until smooth and homogeneous. We want a lump-free ice cream, so make sure everything is well combined. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL (we don't want to waste a single drop of this deliciousness!). Place everything in the freezer for 24 hours . Yes, it's a bit long, but patience pays off with this perfect texture. - Churn with the Ice Cream program.
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . A few minutes later, you'll have smooth vanilla and apricot ice cream, with that touch of summer you'll love. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is a little too firm, use the Respin to make it creamier. Add a little milk (about 30 ml) if you want an even softer consistency.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more indulgent treat, I recommend serving this ice cream with apricot coulis or a few toasted slivered almonds on top. It adds a touch of crunch that pairs beautifully with the creamy texture of the ice cream. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try a drizzle of honey or even some orange zest? It magically enhances the apricot flavor!
And there you have it, your apricot vanilla ice cream is ready to be enjoyed! It's a sweet, fruity, and light dessert, perfect for all seasons, but especially for bringing a touch of summer warmth to your plate. Enjoy!
