Nieve de Garrafa (Mexican Fruit Ice Cream)
Traditional Nieve de Garrafa – Refreshing Mexican Fruit Ice Delight
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh fruit (e.g., mango, strawberry, pineapple, or guava), chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
Crushed ice and rock salt (for the freezing container method)
Directions:
In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, sugar, lime juice, water, and salt. Blend until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
Pour the fruit purée into a metal or stainless steel cylinder (garrafa) or any tall, narrow metal container.
Place the cylinder in a larger container filled with crushed ice and rock salt, surrounding the sides completely.
Rotate and stir the fruit mixture continuously using a long wooden paddle or spoon. This step mimics the traditional hand-churning technique used by street vendors.
Continue churning for about 30–45 minutes until the mixture thickens and takes on a sorbet-like consistency.
Serve immediately for a soft, slushy texture or freeze for an additional 2–3 hours for a firmer scoop.
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freezing Time: 45 minutes | Total Time: 55 minutes
