Ingredients

  • 500g fresh cherries , pitted
  • 1 lemon , zested and juiced
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 600ml double cream
  • 3 tbsp pistachio butter
  • 250ml condensed milk
  • 50g pistachios , shelled, toasted and finely chopped

Method

  1. Tip the cherries, lemon zest and juice, the sugar and cornflour into a pan. Cook over a medium heat for 12-15 mins until bubbling, reduced and thickened. As the cherries cook, lightly mash using a wooden spoon to break them up. Cool completely.

  2. Whisk the cream and pistachio butter to soft peaks using an electric whisk, then fold in the condensed milk. Pour into a 1.2-litre loaf tin or freezerproof container, then swirl in the cooled cherries using a cutlery knife. Scatter over the pistachios, cover and freeze for at least 6 hrs, or ideally overnight. Will keep frozen for three months. Remove from the freezer for 5 mins before scooping.
