Note

For best flavor and texture, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.

If you do not have an ice cream machine, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, though the texture will be less creamy.

Ensure the apricots are ripe and sweet for the best natural flavor. If using frozen apricots, thaw and drain well before dicing.

The gelatin helps prevent large ice crystals from forming, keeping the ice cream smoother during storage.
