Recipe Sherry berry gelato

[Morning Glory]

No ice-cream machine? No problem. This is a two step recipe: mix all the ingredients together then freeze. The alcohol prevents ice crystals forming in the cream. I used two mini loaf tins to make enough for two to three portions. You could easily scale this recipe up for more.

Ingredients (serves 2-3, makes approx. 250 ml)
150ml double cream (heavy cream)
20g meringue, roughly crumbled
50g blackberries, lightly crushed
50g raspberries, lightly crushed
1 preserved stem ginger, chopped into small chunks
1 tsp of of preserved ginger syrup
½ tbsp sweet or medium sweet sherry

Method

1. Place the cream in a large bowl and whip until it forms peaks. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
2. Place in moulds lined with cling film and freeze until set. Turn out the gelato and slice.

How is the mouth feel with this recipe? I've made ice creams with heavy cream, and the results are...buttery. That's why I use half-and -half (a 50:50 blend of heavy cream and milk). But, I think that the sheer volume of fruit here saves the day.

And, very cool (literally) that this can be done as a no-churn recipe. Very nice.
