If you don't have an ice cream machine, go out and get one! These little miraculous machines can make small quantities of delicious creamy ice cream and you can take a basic vanilla ice cream and turn into pretty much anything. With a slew of Blackcurrants in my backyard, I decided to enhance this ice cream with sweet tart Blackcurrant syrup and beautiful raw Pistachios.

Sugar 1 1/2 Cup (24 tbs)
Milk 1 1/2 Cup (24 tbs)
Vanilla bean paste 1 Teaspoon
Salt 1 Pinch

Syrup 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)
Sliced pistachios 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) (shelled and sliced raw Pistachios)
Black currents 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)

Directions

1. Prepare the ice cream base by whisking together the sugar, milk, vanilla essence & pinch of salt till the sugar is dissolved.

2. Whisk in the heavy cream and chill.

3. Boil the sugar and water together to make a light syrup and poach the blackcurrants for a few minutes, then drain and cool.

4. Once chilled, our into the ice cream machine for about 10 mins till it resembles soft serve.

5. Pour back into a bowl and fold in the syrup, the pistachios and finally the blackcurrants and fold.
