This vanilla apricot ice cream with apricot pieces is the perfect dessert for lovers of fruit and sweetness. Blend some of the apricots to incorporate their flavor into the ice cream, and keep some whole pieces for little fruity surprises in each spoonful.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 200 ml of whole liquid cream
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or the seeds of a vanilla bean for a more intense flavor)
- 150g fresh or frozen apricots (pitted and divided into two parts: one part blended, one part in pieces)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it intensifies the flavors)
Preparation :
- Prepare the vanilla-apricot base.
In a bowl, combine the whole milk, cream, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend about 100g of apricots with this mixture to fully incorporate the apricot flavor into the ice cream base. At this point, the aroma of vanilla and apricots will make your mouth water! - Add the apricot pieces.
Cut the remaining 50g of apricots into small pieces and gently add them to the base. Mix to distribute them evenly without crushing them. These apricot pieces will freeze into the ice cream and provide a pleasant contrast of textures. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then place the container in the freezer for 24 hours . Yes, I know, it's a long time, but this wait is the key to achieving the perfect texture! - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you will have creamy ice cream with apricot pieces, for a fruity and delicious treat. - Respin Tip
If the ice cream is a little too firm after the first cycle, use the Respin to soften the texture. If necessary, add a little milk (about 30 ml) to adjust the consistency.
My Personal Tip:
To enhance this ice cream, I recommend serving it with a drizzle of honey or a few shortbread shards for a crunchy touch. A little fresh basil or chopped mint is also a nice idea to accentuate the summer flavors. Each spoonful will be a little surprise between the creamy vanilla and the sweet and tangy apricot pieces.
And there you have it, your vanilla apricot ice cream with apricot pieces is ready to be enjoyed! It's a refreshing, sweet ice cream full of fruity surprises. The Ninja Creami guarantees a smooth, creamy texture, with little pieces of apricots that add a real summery touch. Enjoy!
