How to make ice cream with the extractor

If at home you are not equipped with an ice cream maker, but you have a great desire to experiment, try doing the ice cream with the extractor, a clever method to create ice creams with very personal tastes. Always choose seasonal fruit, untreated and if you have the luck of your plant, for a home made ice cream, without dyes or preservatives. To prepare it you need an extractor equipped with blind filter, therefore you simply need to replace the classic filter used for juices and extracts, with the special blind filter supplied by many extractors on the market today.

Ice cream ingredients with the extractor

300 g of untreated fruit
200 g of milk, cream, yogurt, vegetable milk or condensed milk
honey, maple syrup, stevia or other natural sweeteners
lemon juice

Method

In order not to waste even a peel and the nutrients contained in it, cut the fruit and if necessary pitted it (we have chosen black cherries), but avoid peeling it, unless it is fruit treated or with hard peel. Sprinkle it with the ½ lemon juice so that it doesn't oxidize and stick together 1 tbsp honey mix well then pour the creamy liquid component, whether it is milk, cream, yogurt, vegetable milk or condensed milk (if you use condensed milk you do not need to add any type of sweetener to the fruit). Transfer everything to an airtight bowl and place in freezer for at least 12 hours.

Remove from the freezer the bowl, put it under running water and apply a light pressure on the bottom to let the frozen mixture come out. Cut the block of frozen fruit in smaller pieces, put the appropriate filter closed is close the nozzle where usually the juice, since the ice cream will come out from the one dedicated to waste pulp. Put a carafe under the nozzle and insert the frozen fruit little by little, mix well to obtain a creamy and homogeneous effect. Enjoy the ice cream right away or put it in the freezer to be able to savor it whenever you want.

Since messing is allowed in the kitchen we also tried to make mistakes, deliberately using the classic filter instead of the blind filter and the result was compelling. From the scrap nozzle came a ice cream more like granita and a creamy juice from the juice nozzle milkshake.

The sorbet unlike ice cream does not contain milk or derivatives, and compared to granita the fruit pulp as well as the juice. The sorbet is therefore perfect for those with lactose intolerance problems or for those who prefer a light, but still satisfying dessert.

Remove the frozen fruit, insert the blind filter and close the juice nozzle. Run the extractor and add a little fruit at a time. Distribute the sorbet in small glasses or cups by decorating with a little fresh fruit.
