You can make the black currant ice cream with mascarpone yourself with just four ingredients and without an ice cream maker. A detailed black currant mascarpone ice cream recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found here at the bottom.

The creamiest fruit ice cream in the world

Thanks to mascarpone and cream, this currant ice cream tastes heavenly creamy. At the same time, the berries give it a very fruity taste. The creaminess and fruitiness in combination result in an incredibly delicious ice cream that is simply to be snacked on. In summer, it is an ideal dessert for children and adults, which you can easily and quickly conjure up yourself on the dining table. It’s best to make a double serving of ice cream right away, because it’ll be gone faster than you think.

How to make currant ice cream extra fine

For this recipe, I had simply pureed black currants together with the other ingredients, namely mascarpone and powdered sugar. This leaves the skin and grains from the berries naturally in the ice cream. Since most vitamins are contained in the skin of fruits, I find such an ice cream healthier. Besides, neither the rind nor the grains bother me in the ice cream. But if you like your mascarpone ice cream with black currants especially fine, you can first puree the berries without the other ingredients and then rub them through a sieve. This way you get a fine berry mixture, which you then mix with mascarpone and powdered sugar. Then mix it with the whipped cream.

Seductively sweet eye-catcher

Not only delicious, but with its purple color an eye-catcher on the dining table is the black currant ice cream. Its appearance alone makes you want to eat it. The mascarpone ice cream does not contain any artificial colors. The black currants alone in combination with white dairy products provide this strong, striking color.

Mascarpone ice cream with other fruits

Instead of black currants, you can make the mascarpone ice cream with other berries. For example, try it with raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. You can also use red currants for the recipe. Whether it’s black currants or other fruits, the ice cream tastes best with fresh berries. Alternatively, you can try making it with frozen currants. I haven’t tried it myself yet. Then report back in a comment about your successes once you’ve used frozen fruit. If you like the ice cream particularly fine, rub also the other berries after pureeing through a sieve, so that you have later no grains or shells in the ice cream.

Where can I get black currants for the recipe?

Black currants are unfortunately not available fresh in supermarkets. But if you have the opportunity, you can plant them yourself in your own garden. Then you’ll have lots of fresh black currants every year and you can make not only mascarpone ice cream, but also cakes or jam from them. On some harvest fields it is offered to pick black currants yourself. In some stores you can also buy frozen black currants. However, as I mentioned before, I haven’t made ice cream with frozen fruit yet and can’t say how the ice cream will turn out.
