Lucuma ice cream is a popular dessert in Peru made from the lucuma fruit, a subtropical fruit native to Peru. It has a unique flavor that’s often described as a blend of maple, caramel, and sweet potato. The ice cream itself has a smooth, creamy texture and a pale yellow color. It’s a delicious and refreshing treat, often enjoyed on its own or as a complement to other Peruvian desserts.
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (354 ml per can) of evaporated milk
- 8 tablespoons of lucuma powder mixed with 8 tablespoons of milk
- 1 pouch (7 g) of unflavoured gelatine solved in 1/2 cup of water
- 1 cup of sugar
Preparation:
For best results leave the evaporated milk in the fridge overnight. Pour the evaporated milk into a big bowl. Beat the milk at high speed with a hand held beater or stand mixer for about 2 minutes until stiff peaks. Add gradually the sugar, lucuma and gelatine. Keep beating until all ingredients mixed well. Pour the mix into a container with a lid and then freeze it.
