Ingredients

  • 300g blackberries
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 2 lemons, zested, plus 1 juiced
  • 1 x 250g light cream cheese
  • 200g light condensed milk
  • 300ml whipping cream
  • 5 digestive biscuits, roughly crushed
  • ice cream cones, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put the blackberries in a small pan with the sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 50ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring frequently, for 10 mins, or until the berries have broken down and are turning jam-like. Remove from the heat; set aside for 30 mins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and lemon zest; beat until smooth. Beat in the condensed milk and remaining lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture, along with the biscuits.
  3. Transfer the cream mixture to a shallow, lidded container and gently stir through the blackberry mixture to create a marbled effect. Cover and freeze for 5 hrs or overnight, until solid. To serve, scoop into ice cream bowls or cones, if you like.
