Pomegranate & Vanilla Ice Cream

Pomegranate ice cream (Jackson Pollock style)

An original recipe by Not Quite Nigella

• 1 cup POM wonderful pomegranate juice

• 4 tablespoons of sugar

• 1 cup thickened cream

• 2 cups milk

• 3/4 cup granulated or caster sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Step 1 - Firstly make syrup. Put POM Wonderful juice in a small saucepan with sugar and boil on medium/high heat until reduced by half (about 7-10 minutes). Cool well (you don't want this even slightly warm).

Step 2 - In a bowl, whisk the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla until the sugar has dissolved. Then place in ice cream maker and churn according to directions.

Step 3 - Place ice cream in a freezer proof container or cake tin and then spoon over half of the Pomegranate syrup. Using a chopstick or a blunt knife make swirls with the syrup. You don't quite want to invoke Jackson Pollock by splattering the syrup about. Freeze until firm and serve with some extra syrup doused on top and some Pomegranate seeds if you see fit.
