Sitaphal Ice Cream - Custard Apple Ice Cream

By Petrina Verma Sarkar, About.com

I love the slightly grainy texture of Sitaphal Ice Cream! This recipe is so simple to make, my brother and I would often treat ourselves to it as kids. My Mom would come into the kitchen and see us hard at work, making our own dessert!

Prep Time: 6 hours,

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh sitaphal/ custard apple pulp (seeds removed)
  • 2 egg whites
  • 400 ml thickened/ heavy/ double cream, chilled
  • 1/3 cup sugar ground to a fine powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation:

  • Mash the custard apple to a coarse pulp and freeze slightly (not till rock solid!!).
  • Whisk the 2 egg whites in a clean, dry bowl, till they get fluffy and soft peaks are formed in them.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the cream, sugar and essence together. Be careful not to whisk too much as the cream may turn to butter!
  • Now add the custard apple pulp to the cream and blend with a spoon.
  • Gently fold this mixture into the egg whites. Once fully blended, pour into a freezer bowl and cover.
  • Freeze for 3 hours or till firm. Remove from the freezer and whisk again till smooth.
  • Put back in the freezer till firm again. Scoop out into individual bowls and serve!
