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.
