Notes

To make the ice cream without an ice cream churner

Follow the steps to the churning stage.

Pour the ice cream into a freezer proof storage container and put into freezer.

Every hour or so remove ice cream from freezer and whisk quickly to break up lumps and icy edges.

Repeat this three or four times or until ice cream is think and the approximate consistency of strained yogurt.

Once at this stage leave in freezer for a further hour or two to finish firming up.

Ingredients

Just as mentioned earlier, you only need three ingredients for this feijoa ice cream. Simple, easy, and totally fantastic.

• 2 cups ripe feijoa pulp (scooped out)
  
• 1 cup thick cream (whipping cream or heavy cream)
  
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  

Optional: adjust condensed milk to taste if you prefer it more or less sweet.

Feijoa (Pineapple Guava)

Feijoa adds a naturally sweet, tropical flavor with a hint of pineapple and a hint of mint. Its soft pulp blends smoothly, giving the ice cream a fresh, fruity taste. Ripe feijoas also add natural aroma and brightness to every scoop.
If feijoas aren’t available, no worries. This recipe works just as well with mango, strawberries, cherries, or raspberries.

Thick Cream

Thick cream creates a rich, smooth, and creamy base. It helps achieve a velvety texture without an ice-cream machine. The cream balances the fruit’s tang and makes the dessert extra soft.

Condensed Milk

Condensed milk sweetens the ice cream perfectly. If you want more, then add sugar to your taste. It keeps the mixture soft and scoopable after freezing. Its caramel-like richness enhances both the cream and feijoa flavor.
Extra tip: Always use a large bowl when whipping the cream, and ensure the cream is well chilled for best results.

How To Make Feijoa Ice Cream In A Few Simple Steps

This simple method shows you how to make feijoa ice cream effortlessly. Perfect for a quick, homemade frozen dessert.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Ensure you have all three ingredients ready: ripe feijoas, thick cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Using ripe feijoas will give the best flavor and natural sweetness.

Step 2: Prepare the Feijoas

Wash the feijoas well, then cut them in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the soft pulp from the center and discard the skins. Measure out 2 cups of feijoa pulp.

Step 3: Add Ingredients to the Blender

Place the feijoa pulp into a blender or food processor.  Add the thick cream and sweetened condensed milk.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth

Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 5: Taste and Adjust

Taste the mixture before freezing. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little more condensed milk and blend again.

Step 6: Transfer to a Freezer Container

Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.

Step 7: Freeze

Cover the container tightly with a lid. Place it in the freezer and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8: Soften and Serve

Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade feijoa ice cream.

Freezing Tips for Best Results

• Use a shallow container so the ice cream freezes evenly
  
• Cover the surface tightly to prevent ice crystals
  
• If you want an extra smooth texture, give the ice cream a quick stir after 2 hours, then refreeze
  
• Let it soften slightly before scooping for perfect texture

Brief Method

Scoop fresh feijoa pulp, blend it with cream and condensed milk until smooth, then freeze until set. That’s all it takes to make a creamy, refreshing feijoa ice cream with just three ingredients.
