Ingredients
- 3 pomegranates
- 1 lime
- 175 grams icing sugar
- 500 millilitres double cream
- Extract juices: Juice two of the pomegranates using a lemon squeezer and the lime, then strain the combined juices into a bowl to remove any pulp or seeds.
- Add icing sugar: Stir in 175 grams of icing sugar into the strained juice and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Whisk cream: Gradually whisk in 500 millilitres of double cream until the mixture forms soft peaks; if using heavy cream or whipping cream, whisk the cream separately first, then fold in the juice mixture and whisk again until thickened.
- Freeze mixture: Spoon and smooth the cream into an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
- Serve: Before serving, scatter pomegranate seeds from the third pomegranate on top as a garnish, adding texture and vibrant color.
Notes
- Use a fine mesh strainer to ensure the juice is smooth without seeds or bits of pith.
- Using cold double cream will help achieve better whipping results.
- For a zestier flavor, you can add a teaspoon of freshly grated lime zest.
- This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for up to 3 days for best freshness.
