Description
Grape Juice Ice Cream is a smooth and creamy dessert that blends the fruity and slightly tangy flavors of pure grape juice with rich creaminess, making it a refreshing treat especially enjoyable on hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pure grape juice (unsweetened)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately.
- In a large bowl, whisk together grape juice, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until sugar is fully dissolved and mixture is smooth.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press plastic wrap onto the surface, seal with a lid, and freeze for 4-6 hours until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk.
- Use honey, agave syrup, or erythritol as sugar alternatives for lower sugar options.
- Add other fruit juices like raspberry or a splash of mint extract for flavor variations.
- Dip your ice cream scoop in warm water to scoop ice cream smoothly.
