Grape Ice Cream
Grape ice cream is a lesser-known but exceptionally unique dessert, combining the natural sweetness of fresh fruit with the smooth creaminess of heavy cream. This recipe was inspired by the Italian gelato tradition, where seasonal fruits are often used to make ice cream in Mediterranean regions. The slightly tart and refreshing flavor of grapes perfectly balances the sweet and creamy texture, creating a truly special experience on hot summer days. If you love fruity ice creams, you should definitely give this a try!

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the grapes and remove them from the stems. If using grapes with seeds, remove the seeds as well.
2
In a blender, purée the grapes. Then, strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the skins and any remaining seeds.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and honey over low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then mix well with the grape purée.
5
Let the mixture cool completely, then pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
7
Once the ice cream is completely frozen (after about 4-5 hours of freezing), serve garnished with fresh grapes or drizzled with a little honey.
