Ingredients
-
5 ounces prunes, quartered, pitted
6 tablespoons armagnac
7 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Preparation
-
Place the quartered prunes in a small saucepan with the Armagnac and 1 tablespoons of sugar. Heat over medium-low heat just until the Armagnac starts to bubble. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand at least 2 hours or several days in the fridge.
When ready to make the ice cream, puree the prunes (be sure to save about 8 prune pieces for garnish) and their liquid in a food processor along with the sour cream, milk, the remaining 6 Tbsps. sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Pulse the mixture until it's almost smooth but leave a few little bits of prunes remaining. I do this by reserving a few prunes & throwing them in for just a few pulses.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour (minimum), then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Serve garnished with a dusting of cocoa powder & a macerated prune piece on the side.
