Ingredients

  • 5 oz fruity white wine like Moscato
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • fresh berries such as blackberries or raspberries, for serving

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand add the whipping cream. Whisk on low-medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it's whipped and soft peaks have formed.
  • Add the sugar to a blender or food processor, pulse the sugar until a super fine (but not powdery) consistency is reached. Let the sugar 'dust' settle for a few seconds.
  • Add the sugar to a separate mixing bowl and stir in the wine until the sugar's dissolved.
  • Pour the sugared wine into the whipped cream and whisk just until incorporated.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture to a rigid container, like a metal loaf pan or a plastic tupperware dish. Cover the dish and place it in the freezer until frozen firm, about 4 hours.
  • Scoop the ice cream into bowls and serve topped with the fresh berries. Splash with a bit more wine if desired.

Notes

  • Serve it with fresh fruit for a healthy topping that pairs perfectly. We like berries especially. Sliced peaches or poached pairs also work well.
  • Use a red wine sauce/syrup instead of the traditional chocolate syrup. Or try this Berry Cabernet Sauce we love!
  • The classic whipped cream is also a great option, but I recommend using freshly whipped for the full indulgent experience.
  • Candied nuts are also a delicious addition and can give great texture, but be careful if you have sensitive teeth as they can get extra hard from the cold ice cream.
  • Fresh mint leaves make a gorgeous garnish, and pair perfectly with the light ice cream and ripe fruit.
