FRUITED ICE CREAM TERRIENE

Roberta Reynolds

Here’s a quick and easy way to make a special dessert in very little time. It’s rich and satisfying, but nice and cool as well. And no ice cream machine necessary! If you want to use just one flavor, go ahead – it’s your party and you can do whatever you feel like! We fancy this dessert up a little by making three different types of ice cream, then layering them in a loaf pan. Just slice and serve. This recipe was adapted from Food and Wine’s Newsletter, the F&W Daily. This recipe makes enough for two loaf pans, with plenty left over for sampling.

Cook Time 30

Total Time 45

Servings 20 slices

Ingredients

9 cups of fresh or semi-frozen* peaches
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2-3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
9 cups of fresh or semi-frozen*raspberries
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2-3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
9 cups of fresh or semi-frozen* boysenberries
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2-3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

Repeat these steps for each batch:
In a food processor, pulse the fruit and sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and salt until fruit is finely chopped. Puree until smooth.
You can eat this right away and it will have the consistency of soft serve.
If you’d prefer your ice cream to be more firm, or are making a terrine, transfer to container, cover, and freeze until frozen solid. Allow ice cream to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes or more before serving.
To assemble: Line two loaf pans with plastic wrap, both lengthwise and crosswise, so you have plastic wrap hanging over the sides of the pan on all sides.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop enough boysenberry ice cream into the pan to cover the bottom. Smooth out with a butter knife or back of a large spoon.
Repeat the process with the peach ice cream, and then the raspberry ice cream.
Fold plastic wrap over the top and add more if needed. Freeze until ready to use. All you have to do is lift it out of the pan and turn it upside down on a serving plate. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water to make sure you get a nice clean slice.

Notes

HORSING AROUND:

It’s fun to mix and match different colors and flavors of this ice cream. You might try peach & blueberry or apricot and raspberry. The possibilities are endless! Maybe some whipped cream? Or vanilla ice cream as a layer to balance the fruit?
Might be fun to layer some fresh fruit into your terrine. Strawberries would be really good. Watch out for fruit with big seeds. Boysenberries are notorious for that so you might want to choose another berry.
Pssst: my favorite next to Peach is Mango. Buy frozen Mango chunks and take it from there.
