Summers are about to end and so is Mango season. And that makes me a little sad since it’s my favorite fruit and I wait for the next mango season as soon as it ends. Another favorite fruit is Jamun/Java Plum. It is a monsoon fruit but is highly seasonal and is available for about 1-2 months every year in June-July. I thought of combining these two favorites to make a simple Mango and Jamun Icecream.

The best part is that it is a simple 4 ingredient ice cream made with fruit, heavy cream, cornflour and sugar. Since I used 2 fruits, so there are 5 ingredients in total, but you can totally use the same ingredients to make ice cream with a single fruit too.

Love how this is easy to make and sets perfectly in 5-6 hours, though I prefer to freeze it overnight for best results. This ice cream recipe tastes perfectly well with lemon, peaches, plum, coconut, cherries too. So choose any ingredient of choice for it.

7. Add all the Jamun pieces into a grinder and make a smooth puree.

9. Heat heavy cream and mix sugar and cornflour to it.
10. Once it cools slightly, add the Jamun puree and mix well.
11. Pour this in the same tin and make swirls to get a lovely pattern. Freeze overnight.
