Pomegranate ice cream for Christmas, don’t be surprised, even now as you are reading I’m sure someone is already thinking of tasting a nice fresh fruit ice cream. It certainly cannot be called sorbet, due to the presence of milk and cream, but it will surely be appreciated at the end of the meal. In my Christmas menu, there is ice cream at the end of lunch and this year it will be pomegranate flavored. Naturally, you can prepare it in advance, and you can also freeze pomegranate seeds to decorate the ice cream. In my tutorials, you will find how to prepare special ice for cocktails. On blog.giallozafferano.it/vaipinacucina, you will find inspiration for traditional recipes and innovative recipes.

Ingredients to prepare pomegranate ice cream
- 1 cup cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup cup fresh liquid cream
- 2/3 cup cup fruit juice (pomegranate)
- 2.8 oz oz powdered sugar
Tools
- Juicer I use Panasonic MJ-L600
- Ice cream maker
- Container
Preparation
To prepare the juice, a couple of pomegranates will be needed.
I preferred the cold-press juicer to keep all the nutrients intact.
Mix all the ingredients and dissolve the powdered sugar in the milk.
Start your ice cream maker and set the time; 30 minutes will be enough.
The pomegranate ice cream for Christmas is ready!
Decorate the pomegranate ice cream for Christmas with shortcrust cookies and pomegranate seeds.
Juicer
To get the best from a fruit juice, the cold-press juicer is definitely the best system, as it does not alter the nutrients. If you don’t have a juicer, alternatively you could use a centrifuge; the juice won’t be thick, but it will work just fine.
