Ingredients :
- 100g of pitted prunes

- 100 ml full cream (or vegetable cream for a lactose-free option)
- 200 ml of milk (or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons of cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (optional)
Preparing prunes in Armagnac:
- Soaking the prunes :
In a bowl, soak the prunes in Armagnac for at least 2 hours (or ideally overnight). The prunes will absorb the alcohol and become even softer and more flavorful.
Ice cream preparation:
- Blend the prunes and Armagnac :
Once the prunes are well soaked, place them in a blender with the Armagnac. Blend until smooth. If you prefer chunks of prunes in your ice cream, set some aside to add later. - Mix the cream and milk :
In a bowl, mix the cream, milk, and cane sugar. Add the vanilla extract if you want to slightly sweeten the flavors. - Incorporate the prune puree :
Add the prune puree to the cream mixture and stir well until smooth. If you've reserved some prune pieces, add them now for extra texture. - Freezing :
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. - Ice cream transformation :
After freezing, use the "Ice Cream" mode on your Ninja Creami to achieve a creamy and smooth texture. If you want more prune pieces, you can add them after the first cycle and use the "Mix-in" mode.
Tips for serving:
- Elegant presentation : Serve this ice cream in small bowls or glasses. For an even more elegant touch, add a splash of Armagnac on top or a few whole prunes as a garnish.
- Perfect pairings : This ice cream goes wonderfully with crunchy biscuits like shortbread or almond tuiles. You can also enjoy it with a small glass of Armagnac for a truly indulgent dessert.
