Name: Fruit and Herb Frozen Dessert
Total time: 4 h 30 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2.5 cups sour Apple; 0.375 cup naturally cloudy Apple juice; lemons (zested and juiced); 1 Basil; 2 tablespoons Pistachio; 0.5 cup sugar; 0.667 cup cream; 0.25 cup Ricotta cheese

Preparation steps

Quarter, peel and core the apples. Put the apples into a pan with the apple juice, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Then remove from the heat and leave to cool.

Wash the basil, shake dry and pick off the leaves.

Puree the apples with the cooking liquid, lemon juice, basil leaves, 1 tbsp pistachios, and sugar. Blend in the grated lemon rind, cream and ricotta. Finely chop the rest of the pistachios and mix in.

Transfer the mixture to a metal bowl and put into the freezer for about 4 hours. Stir frequently to prevent any large ice crystals from forming (alternatively finish off in an ice cream maker).
