Raspberry and strawberry ice cream with Balsamic Vinegar

Makes about 1 kg of ice cream

-

• 500 g of mixed red berries (raspberries, strawberries and redcurrants)
• 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
• seeds of a vanilla pod
• 1 tablespoon of Giusti Condiment based on Balsamic Vinegar and Raspberries
• 1 tablespoon of Kirsch (or Vodka)
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla icing sugar
• 500 g of fresh whipping cream
• 300 g of condensed milk
• 2 pinches of flaked salt
• Giusti Balsamic Vinegar Pearls

PREPARING THE BERRIES

Clean and slice the red fruits and then place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar, the vanilla seeds and Balsamic Vinegar.
Leave to macerate for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220°C, static mode.
Bake the fruit in the oven to dry for about 10-15 minutes.
Next, allow the mixture to cool, then roughly mash it with the tines of a fork.

Add a tablespoon of vodka or kirsch to prevent the fruit from freezing.
Place in a container and store in the refrigerator.

PREPARING THE CREAM

Whip the very cold cream with a whisk, adding a tablespoon of vanilla icing sugar and the flaked salt a little at a time.
When the cream is fairly stiff, fold in the condensed milk, using a spatula and folding gently from the bottom upwards so as to keep the air in.
Add the cooked and cooled fruit to the mixture, then pour into a cling film-lined plumcake mould.
Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

SERVING

Remove from the mould, cut the ice cream into cubes or pieces and toss into the blender.
Blend for a few seconds until creamy.
Serve in small bowls accompanied by a few Balsamic Vinegar Pearls.
