Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the prunes thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Place the prunes in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the prunes are very soft, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Drain the prunes, reserving the cooking liquid if needed, and rub them through a fine-mesh sieve to create a smooth pulp.
  6. Measure out 1 cup of the prune pulp.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the prune pulp, sugar, lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, and water.
  8. Stir vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or ice cream maker bowl.
  10. Freeze according to your appliance's instructions, or stir every 30 minutes if freezing in a standard container, until firm.
  11. Serve scooped into bowls.

Note

For best texture, ensure the prune pulp is completely smooth before mixing to avoid icy chunks.

If freezing in a standard container without an ice cream maker, stirring every 30 minutes helps prevent large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a creamier consistency.

This ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
