Craving something cool and sweet on a hot summer day? Let’s make delicious plum milk ice cream using a Ziploc bag that’s both healthy and incredibly tasty. This recipe is perfect for a refreshing treat that everyone will love!
Ice Cream Ingredients- 2 ripe plums, pitted and chopped (approx. 200g)
- 1 cup milk (200ml)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the plums thoroughly. Remove the stems, then make a cut around the pit, separate the halves, remove the pit, and chop the plums into bite-sized pieces. It’s best to use plums that are ripe and sweet but still firm, not overly mushy, to maximize their natural flavor.
Step 2
Prepare a sturdy, sealable Ziploc bag (medium size). Since the mixture will expand slightly as it freezes, avoid filling the bag completely to leave some space. This bag will act as your ice cream maker!
Step 3
In a blender, combine the chopped plums, cold milk, honey, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no chunks of plum remaining; a uniformly smooth consistency is key for a pleasant ice cream texture. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more sugar or honey.
Step 4
Carefully pour the blended plum-milk mixture into the prepared Ziploc bag. Seal the bag tightly, double-checking to ensure there are no leaks. Try to remove as much air as possible before sealing; this helps the ice cream freeze evenly and minimizes ice crystal formation.
Step 5
Place the sealed Ziploc bag in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until completely solid. For a firmer ice cream, you can freeze it for 4-5 hours. Freezing time may vary depending on your freezer’s temperature, so check for firmness.
Step 6
Remove the fully frozen Ziploc bag from the freezer. The contents will be quite hard. To achieve a scoopable consistency, you can gently tap the bag, or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then knead the bag with your hands until the ice cream softens and breaks apart. Spoon the ice cream into a serving bowl. Your delicious and healthy plum milk ice cream is now ready to enjoy! You can garnish with mint leaves or sprinkle with nuts for an extra touch.
