The Sacred Art of Eating

This ice cream is supposed to be express, as you just squeeze, stir, bung it in the freezer and go. This does not hold when you whip the cream by hand!

• No Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream

It’s funny that, given that this is Nigella Express, that she calls for whole pomegranates here. I’d have thought those little packets of seeds from Waitrose would be far quicker than de-seeding your own fruit. I’d never de-seeded a pomegranate before and so foolishly believed the internet that it just involved bashing my halved pomegranate with a wooden spoon. Instead it was a rather laboured process of inverting the fruit and worrying out the individual seeds.

As for ‘just stir’….whipping half a litre of cream and fruit juice by hand is no mean feat. We take some comfort though, in the knowledge that we will have burned a great many few calories by doing so and that makes the ice cream a little less sinful.

So right now the ice cream is in the freezer. Tomorrow we get to eat it and you shall hear from us how we got on. Preliminary reports from the bowl-licker indicate that this will be a big hit at the polls on Wednesday!
