Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) fresh apricots, pitted and diced
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) almond extract
Instructions:
- Combine diced apricots, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apricots break down and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency. Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat. Let this cool completely.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the chilled condensed milk with vanilla and almond extracts until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk using a silicone spatula with a 'cut and fold' motion to avoid deflating the air.
- Pour half of the base into a parchment-lined 9x5 inch metal loaf pan. Dot the surface with half of the cooled apricot reduction.
- Repeat with the remaining base and apricot, then use a knife to swirl the fruit into the cream to create a marbled pattern.
- Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
