Redcurrant Ripple and White Chocolate Ice-Cream
Here is another recipe I’ve been meaning to write up for a very long time. Our redcurrants aren’t quite ready to make this ice-cream yet – assuming the birds don’t get there before us! But we do still have some left in the freezer from last year – amazing isn’t it?
This no-churn ice-cream is so simple to make it has become a firm favourite and I’ve made several different versions so far. Do have a look at my other ice-cream recipes. This one was sweet, smooth and creamy with lovely bursts of tartness coming through from the fruit. Strangely, it tasted more like raspberries than redcurrants.
I am entering this into BSFIC over at Kavey Eats as the theme this month is fruit. This is a super challenge which seems to inspire some fabulous creations. I keep meaning to enter and very rarely manage it, so I’m pleased to be able to do so this time.
- 250g redcurrants – stalks removed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50g white chocolate (I use G&B)
- 200ml condensed milk
- 600ml double cream
- Simmer the red currants in 1 tbsp water until soft then push through a sieve to create a smooth puree. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water. Mix in 100ml of the condensed milk until smooth.
- Whip the double cream until peaks form. Add the remaining 100ml condensed milk and whip again.
- Stir in the white chocolate mixture.
- Fold in the fruit puree to create a ripple effect.
- Pour into a 1 litre container, cover and freeze
- Makes 1 litre

Pigs at pannage in the Forest. Hoovering up nuts and acorns this morning.
So much magnificent autumn colour this year. Despite being mega busy, we managed a walk in the Forest yesterday. The dappled light and warmth from the sun made it a perfect autumnal day.

I’ve just spent the last hour perusing various no churn ice creams, determined to make the most of the glorious weather this week. What a lovely flavour combination Choclette, perfect for watching with the tennis this coming week

Thanks Kate. Ice-cream is just what is needed in this weather – tennis or no tennis 😉 This is a great recipe and the redcurrants can be submitted with raspberries, strawberries or any other summer fruit.

Thank you LL. It’s strange, in the winter I don’t want to eat it at all and in the summer I can’t get enough of it.

Glad I’m in good company Kavey. Love the colours I get from fruit ice-creams. I haven’t made a raspberry one yet though.

It’s such an easy ice-cream to make and works brilliantly with blackcurrants or raspberries or …

Choclette, I would love this! But where I live (US) I can rarely buy redcurrants. On the rare occasion when I spot them, the teeniest tiniest little container of them costs an outrageously ridiculous amount, so …

Yes same here Jean. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them for sale. You need to get friendly with a gardening neighbour I reckon!

This is something my kids and husband would really like.

Do give it a try Sandra – it’s so simple to make and so delicious. If you use raspberries, you don’t even need to cook them – just puree and sieve.

What a great recipe, I may have to try that with my blackcurrants when they are ready as my ice cream machine packed in (the bowl started to leak blue stuff – eek!) and it’s the third I’ve had which has done the same, so am reluctant to buy another one.

The first one of these types of ice-cream I ever made was with blackcurrants – blackcurrants and rose syrup. The tart currants work so well with this. Recipe is on the blog Janice.
