Black Currant Ice Cream is one of my favorite desserts. The kids in the family love it. The adults love it. The problem with black currant as a fruit it it rapidly decays as soon as you pluck it from the trees. The lifespan of the fruit before it starts going bad is less than 24 hours.
I guess that's why we have black currant as a flavor but rarely anyone would have seen it or consumed it as an actual fruit. But if you do get a chance to consume don't miss out ! It's yum and exotic !
Tips
I tend to freeze fruit pulp and store for future and off season use. So the fruit pulp pics are likely to be of frozen pulp.
Ingredients
1 Cup Black Currant Pulp | Falsa Fruit Pulp
• 1 can Condensed Milk
• 1 liter full cream Milk
• 2 tbsp White Corn Flour/Starch
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
• ¼ cup Shaved Chocolate
The Recipe
- Use a filter to mash the black Currant and extract the pulp.
- Take a small pan. Add a cup of milk and corn flour, mix it well and cook it till boiling point on medium flame, then keep aside to cool down.
- Boil the rest of the milk on low and keep stirring. Let it boil untill 85% of the water has evaporated leaving mostly the cream. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Add condensed milk, vanilla extract, the corn-milk mixture to the boiled milk. Mix well.
