Ingredients

  •  lime 
  • 140 brown sugar 
  • 125 blueberries 
  • 200 ml full fat coconut cream 
  • 284 ml double cream 
  • servings blueberries 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • whisk

Directions

  1. Finely grate the zest from one of the limes and squeeze the juice from both. Put in a small pan with the sugar and heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Add the blueberries and simmer for 2 minutes, just until the skins start to split.
  3. Pour the blueberry mixture into a bowl and stir in the coconut cream. Leave to cool. Whip the cream in a large bowl until it just holds its shape, then gradually stir in the blueberry mixture.
  4. Put the bowl in the freezer for about 1 hour, until the mixture is set about 3cm in from the edges.
  5. Remove from the freezer and mix it all together using a whisk. When its fairly smooth, return to the freezer for a further hour, then repeat the whisking one more time.
  6. Transfer the ice cream to a rigid container, cover and freeze until firm, or for up to a month. Before serving,move to the fridge for 30 minutes to soften it.
  7. Serve with extra blueberries scattered over.
