Galbani® Boozy Berry Mascarpone Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups Fresh blueberries, room temperature (about 12 oz.)
2 tbsp. Granulated sugar
2 tbsp. Lemon juice
1 cup Galbani Mascarpone
1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
2 cups Heavy whipping cream, chilled
2 tsp. Bourbon vanilla extract
2 tsp. Coconut rum
1 tbsp. Coconut extract
½ cup Sweet coconut flakes
1 pinch Sea salt
   

METHOD

  1. Combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5 to 8 minutes or until blueberries pop. Remove from heat and cool, stirring occasionally.
     
  2. Place blueberry mixture into a food processor; cover and pulse until almost smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
     
  3. In another large bowl, beat Mascarpone and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
     
  4. Add the cream, bourbon vanilla, coconut extract, coconut rum and salt to the Mascarpone mixture, and beat until stiff peaks form.
     
  5. Add coconut flakes in layers and gently fold into blueberry puree, creating a swirl pattern.
     
  6. Spoon into an airtight freezer container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
