Pomegranate ice cream for Christmas, don’t be surprised, even now that you’re reading I’m sure someone is already thinking of trying a nice fresh fruit ice cream. It certainly can’t be called sorbet, due to the presence of milk and cream, but it will definitely not be unwelcome at the end of a meal. In my Christmas menu, there is ice cream at the end of lunch, and this year it will be pomegranate. Of course, you can prepare it in advance and you can also freeze the pomegranate seeds to decorate the ice cream. In my tutorials, you’ll find how to prepare special ice for cocktails.

Decorate the pomegranate ice cream for Christmas with shortbread cookies and pomegranate seeds.
Juicer
To get the best from a fruit juice, surely the cold extractor is the best system, it does not alter the nutritional principles. If you don’t have an extractor, alternatively you could use a centrifuge, the juice won’t be thick, but it’s fine.
