Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh mulberries, stems removed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk, chilled
- 1/2 cup (100g) honey
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine fresh mulberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes a thick, jammy syrup.
- Press the mulberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining stems or seeds. Chill this syrup completely in the fridge.
- Pour the heavy cream, coconut milk, honey, vanilla, and salt into a blender. Process on high for 60 seconds until the mixture is aerated and completely smooth.
- Transfer the blended base to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- Pour the chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency (usually 20–30 minutes).
- Transfer half of the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the chilled mulberry syrup over the top. Add the remaining ice cream, then drizzle the rest of the syrup.
- Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the syrup into the ice cream. Freeze for another 4 hours until firm.
