microplane (affiliate link) optional
ice cream scoop with trigger (affiliate link) optional

Ingredients

600 ml double cream (heavy cream)
397 g condensed milk (1 standard tin)
1 clementine zest & juice - go for organic if you can
375 g mincemeat fat-free* (see note below)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

In a large bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over beat. Electric beaters on a high speed are best for this. You can also use a stand mixer. If whisking by hand, use a balloon whisk for speedier results.
600 ml double cream (heavy cream)
Add the condensed milk and both the zest and juice of the clementine. Whip again, but on a lower speed, until you get the soft peaks back.
397 g condensed milk, 1 clementine
Fold in the mincemeat until it's fully incorporated.
375 g mincemeat
Scrape the mixture into one or two lidded freezer containers, then freeze for at least six hours. It will keep well for at least three months.
Remove from the freezer about fifteen minutes before serving.

Notes

Makes approximately 1.8 litres.

Don't worry if you have a bit more or a bit less mincemeat, anything between 300g (10 ½ oz) and 400g (14 oz) will work.

*If you only have mincemeat containing strands of suet, warm the mincemeat in a pan until the suet has melted. Give it a good stir, then wait to cool before using.
