Kiwi Fruit Gelato Recipes

BEN & JERRY'S CREAMY FRESH KIWI ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the kiwifruit either with a vegetable peeler or knife and mash them in a bowl until pureed.
• Stir 2 tablespoons sugar into the fruit, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
• Pour in the cream and whisk to blend.
• After 1 hour cooling in the refrigerator, stir the kiwifruit into the egg, sugar, and cream mixture.
• Transfer the mixture to an ice-cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. Ingredient Note: Though in the United States kiwifruit has been known to be called ​kiwi, kiwifruit was, in fact, the fruit's full marketed name. Native to north-central and eastern China, kiwifruit was originally called Chinese gooseberries. But in the 1960s in an effort to market the juicy, green fruit in the west, kiwifruit farmers in New Zealand renamed their fruit to represent their country using the name kiwi , which is the name of the New Zealand national bird as well as a common nickname for New Zealanders themselves.
