What is the difference between no-churn ice cream and regular ice cream?

The most obvious difference is that traditional ice cream requires an ice cream machine to churn the ingredients, which include eggs and sugar. No churn ice cream requires only a blender or food processor to quickly mix sweetened condensed milk, double cream and fruit, chocolate or other sweet flavours. No eggs or sugar are needed and by adding a few tablespoons of an alcohol-based liqueur, the consistency remains thick and creamy without turning into freezer ice.

How to make Passionfruit No Churn Ice Cream

A very simple method: Thick double cream is whipped into soft peaks, then deliciously sweet and thick condensed milk is added and whipped again. In this recipe, the passion fruit flavour comes from a combination of passion fruit pulp and passion fruit liqueur. To assemble, simply place the whipped cream in sections in a freezer container with a drizzle of passion fruit pulp to create beautiful layers. Freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight and it’s ready to eat.

How to eat Passionfruit No Churn Ice Cream

If you have reserved some passionfruit pulp then this is the perfect topping to drizzle over a few scoops. A garnish or grated white chocolate would be lovely or simply serve it alongside warm and cold puddings, cakes, pancakes or crepes.

In Germany, ice cream is served with a traditional spiced fruit rum called Rumtopf. Fruits, sugar and spices are preserved in rum over a number of weeks and months to produce a delicious liquor which is then poured over ice cream. This passionfruit flavour here pairs very well with the rum and spice-soaked fruits. Rumtopf recipe here on flaevor.com
