- 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
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.
- 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.
