Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Black currants
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters Water
- 500 grams Plain whole-milk yogurt
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Rinse the black currants thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or leaves.
In a medium saucepan, combine the black currants, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the currants begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the cooked black currants until smooth. Optionally, pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother texture. Let the puree cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Once the black currant puree has cooled, add it to the yogurt mixture and gently fold until fully incorporated.
If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 30 minutes, then stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat this stirring process every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture has firmed up to your desired consistency.
Once churned or frozen, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to set completely.
Serve scoops of black currant yogurt ice cream immediately and enjoy!
