Instructions
- Puree the apricots, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apricot puree, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully mixed.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- While the ice cream is churning, prepare the crumble topping. If using homemade, combine with butter and sugar and bake until golden brown.
- Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the ice cream.
- Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve the apricot crumble ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh apricot slices for an added touch.
Tips
- For a more intense apricot flavor, add some diced fresh apricots to the mixture before freezing.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes, until it reaches the desired consistency.
