The last dish for theme Summer cooler, Roasted plum ice-cream, tadaaaa! I was planning to do a Beverage again, got the ingredients ready too. Then remembered some plums waiting for some attention in the fridge. Had about 10-12 ripened plums, and i already have a stash of frozen plums, even if i eat one plum a day, it is too much for me. So, i changed plans and made this ice-cream.
We totally loved it, the saucy plums mixed with fluffy cream, it was just like store-bought jar of ice-cream. I served it plum sauce and toasted pistachios and some chocolate drizzle. Absolutely out of the world. Do try and let me know how you liked it.

Ingredients
5 nos plums (i used black amber plums)
3 tablespoon raw sugar
a pinch of salt
a tablespoon of butter (optional)
400 ml cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
For chocolate sauce
½ cup of dark chocolate, melted
Method
- Let us first roast the plums, wash and cut the plums into quarters, remove the pit. Place the quartered plums in a baking tray.
- Sprinkle sugar and salt over, toss to mix. Add butter. Preheat the oven to 180C and bake the plums for 35-40 minutes or until the fruit look little shriveled and oozes juice.
- Remove it from the oven, let it cool completely. Puree the fruit and refrigerate until use. I got about ¾ cup of thick sauce.
For the plum sauce
2 nos plums
2-3 tablespoon raw sugar
a teaspoon of vanilla extract
¼ cup of water
¼ cup of water
Method
- Wash, remove the pit, chop the plums into thin slices. In a sauce pan, take the chopped plums, add 2-3 tablespoon of sugar and water, cook in a simmer flame, until the fruit is soft and cooked, and saucier. Add vanilla extract and remove it from flame. Set aside until use.
To Make the IceCream
- Take cream in a chilled glass bowl. using a Electric beater, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- To this cream add the pureed plum sauce in batches and mix gently using a spatula.
- Be genteel, it will be like mixing up a color cloud. Once done, pour the ice-cream in a freezer safe container and freezer for 8-10 hours.
To Serve
- Remove the ice-cream container 10 minutes before serving, Scoop the ice-cream into bowls, drizzle plum sauce and chocolate sauce and serve.
- You can omit the plum sauce and just use chocolate sauce alone and top it with some toasted pecans and serve.
