Mulberry-Swirled Goats Cheese Ice Cream
This ice cream conjours up cheesecake in my mind. If you don't have access to mulberries, you can use any other berry. Just don't make the fruit puree too sweet.

Ingredients
Mulberry Puree
- 100 g fresh mulberries
- 2 teaspoons raw sugar optional
Goats Cheese Ice Cream
- 230 g fresh goats cheese
- 400 ml full cream milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 100 g raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Mulberry Puree
- Place the mulberries and sugar (if using) in a small saucepan.
- Cover with a lid and simmer over a gentle heat until the berries are soft and have released their juices.
- Place a fine sieve over a bowl and pour the berries into the sieve.
- Press the berries through the sieve to create a thick puree.
- Discard any remaining solids in the sieve.
- Place the puree into the fridge until required.
Goats Cheese Ice Cream
- Crumble the goats cheese into a bowl and set aside.
- Place the milk into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat.
- Place the egg yolks and sugar into a medium sized bowl.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together until frothy.
- Continue to whisk whilst pouring the warm milk into the egg mixture.
- Pour the milk and egg mixture back into the saucepan.
- Stir continuously over a gentle heat until the mixture has thickened. The mixture is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
- Pour the custard over the goats cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
- Cool the mixture in the fridge and then churn in your ice cream maker, following the manufacturers instructions.
Swirling the Ice Cream
- Place a container for the ice cream in the freezer at the same time as you start to churn your ice cream.
- When the machine has finished, scoops spoonfuls of the ice cream into the cold container.
- Drizzle over some of the mulberry syrup.
- Cover the syrup with further scoops of ice cream.
- Repeat until all of the ice cream is in the container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight
Notes
The mulberries I used were quite sweet and didn't require much additional sugar. Assess how tart the berries are as more sugar may be required.
