Prep Time15 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time55 mins
1 l Coconut milk (full fat)
4 medjool pitted dates
80 ml hot water
½ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
400 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves (or 4 whole cloves)
40 g dried unsweetened cranberries
40 g currants
40 mixed peel
2 tsp grated root ginger (about 4cm)
1 tbsp water
1Make the ice cream: chop the dates and place in a blender with hot water, vanilla and salt. Blitz into a paste then add the coconut milk and whizz together.
2Pour the coconut mix into a container and put in the freezer.
3Make the fruit mince: In a pot over very low heat, add all remaining ingredients and allow to stew with the lid on for 10-15 minutes - stir regularly.
4Refrigerate the fruit mince mixture so it cools completely.
5Combine: After an hour or two, pull the ice cream out of the freezer and give it a stir - pour it into a mould if you’re using one (a loaf tin works well!).
6Scoop the fruit mince into the ice cream and gently stir through to distribute.
7Return to the freezer and leave overnight to freeze solid.
8Turn out of the mould and slice (or scoop out in portions) and serve between eight.
