Note* This ice cream is easy to prepare and the beauty is you can do it in advance. There are many ways you can set this ice cream too. There’s the obvious, set and serve as ice cream scoops, but I’ve also set it in a silicone loaf tin, easy to turn out and serve as ice cream slices. I’ve even made my children ice cream birthday cakes’ using this recipe and setting it in a round cake tin. Then, of course there is the quintessential topping : chocolate sauce!

Step 1: Make your Lucuma nice cream base
Blend all the ingredients for the nice cream base together until smooth.
Step 2: Enhance & flavour your base with superfoods
Take your pick of superfood flavours and add 2 Tbsp & mix it into the base before you set it in the freezer. Set for 3hours minimum or for the best texture leave it overnight.
We added the Salted Caramel Flavour for ours.
Step 3: Decorate & Indulge with a drizzle of chocolate sauce
Make your own chocolate sauce by melting some chocolate in a sauce pan on low heat with some water / alternative milk or follow our recommended chocolate crackle ice cream sauce ! It’s the perfect ice cream cap that hardens instantly as you pour it over.
Note* Depending on how cold your freezer is, you may need to leave the ice cream out to melt a little before dishing up. The great thing about this ice cream is that it can be refrozen in the unlikely event that someone doesn’t lick the bowl clean.
