Story

This recipe creates a delightful balance between the tartness of cranberries and the sweetness of the ice cream base. Simmering the fruit in red wine adds a layer of sophistication and depth to the flavor.

Ingredients

Whole Milk 250 ml

Heavy Cream 250 ml

Granulated Sugar 80 g

Dried Cranberries 100 g

Red Wine 50 ml

Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

Combine the milk, heavy cream, and about half of the sugar in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. Be careful to keep the heat low to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and let it cool completely, ideally by chilling it in the refrigerator.

Simmer the Cranberries

While the base cools, place the red wine in a small pot and bring it to a boil. Add the dried cranberries and the remaining sugar. Simmer gently for a few minutes until the fruit softens and absorbs the wine. Allow this mixture to cool down as well.

Combine and Freeze

Stir the cooled cranberry and wine mixture into the chilled cream base until evenly distributed. Pour the final mixture into a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze solid for several hours before serving.
