Don’t think that cashew is too exotic of a fruit. Buying the frozen pulp is as easy as any other frozen pulp and making this recipe at home is a great way to invoke a carioca getaway!

Makes 1 quart of ice cream

 

¼ teaspoon gelatin powder

1 tablespoon plus 1 cup (250 ml) water

1 ¼ cups (265g) sugar

2 tablespoons (50g) light corn syrup

2 cups (500ml) cashew fruit pulp

Few drops of lime or lemon juice

  • In a small bowl mix the gelatin with 1 tablespoon of water and soak for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 cup of water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium sauce pan and bring to boil. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the gelatin. Allow the syrup to cool at room temperature.
  • Whisk in the cashew fruit. Taste and adjust with a few drops of lemon juice. Chill overnight.
  • Run the mixture through an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it becomes creamy. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the ice cream into a plastic container (take the time to enjoy some now, freshly out of the machine is my favorite time to eat ice cream). Cover with a tight lid and reserve in the freezer for up to 1 month.
