Yield: about 7 ½ – 9 cups (60-66 oz / 1,800-1,950 ml)
400 g Pawpaw puree
14-ounce (400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (475 ml) heavy whipping cream or whipping cream
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract, optional
1/8 teaspoon fine salt, optional
½ Pkg unflavored gelatin
1 ½ Tablespoons cold water
1 ½ Tablespoon boiling water
Additionally: pint containers or other freezer containers
- Place beaters and mixing bowl for whipping cream in freezer.
- Blend the sweetened condensed milk together with vanilla extract, salt and pureed pawpaw until smooth. Pour into a medium sized bowl.
- Soften gelatin in cold water, let sit 5 minutes.
- Mix soften gelatin with boiling water, stir till dissolved.
- Whip heavy cream to thickened condition, before soft peaks
- Mix in softened gelatin
- Whip the heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form. Keep bowl as cold as possible. Do not whip too much as it will be hard to mix the overbeaten cream with the rest of the ingredients.
- Gradually fold in the whipped cream into the condensed milk-fruit-mixtures, until smooth. Don’t be too thorough – overmixing can deflate the mixture.
- Transfer the ice cream base to a metal cake pan to freese. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the mixture to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Depending on your container, freeze until firm for about 4-6 hours, or overnight.
- Scoop out and store in airtight container in freezer.
- Before serving, let the ice cream soften at room temperature until it’s scoopable, about 20 minutes.
