Blackberry and Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream

Ingredients:

300g (10oz) blackberries
100g (3 1/2oz) caster sugar
2 lemons, zested, plus 1 juiced
1 x 250g light cream cheese
200g (7oz) light condensed milk
300ml (1/2pt) whipping cream
5 digestive biscuits, roughly crushed
ice cream cones, to serve (optional)

Method:

Put the blackberries in a small pan with the sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 50ml (2 1â„2f oz) water. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until the berries have broken down and are turning jam-like. Remove from the heat; set aside for 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and lemon zest; beat until smooth. Beat in the condensed milk and remaining lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture, along with the biscuits.
Transfer the cream mixture to a shallow, lidded container and gently stir through the blackberry mixture to create a marbled effect. Cover and freeze for 5 hours or overnight, until solid. To serve, scoop into ice cream bowls or cones, if you like.

In The Spotlight

Nala's Dream by Taylan Kurtul

Nala’s Dream is a magical children’s story with an incredibly poignant story behind it. It was first imagined by five-year-old Taylan Kurtul, who dreamed up an adventure in which his real-life kitten, Nala, travels into space. Taylan sadly died in February 2024, just eight months after being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour. His mum lovingly brought the story he created to life as a book in his memory, celebrating Taylan’s wonderful imagination while raising vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. A beautiful legacy filled with adventure, love and a little boy’s magic.
