📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fruit Preparation: Thoroughly wash the strawberries, mulberries, and cherries in cold water. Remove the stems from the berries and the pits from the cherries.
2
Juicing & Pureeing: Crush the fruits separately to maintain distinct flavors. For a home version, use a blender or food processor to pulse each fruit into a thick, textured puree. For the oranges, squeeze the juice and include some of the fine pulp.
3
Sweetening the Base: Transfer each fruit puree into separate saucepans. Add approximately 60g of sugar to each saucepan.
4
Cooking the Syrup: Heat the purees over a medium flame, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5–⏱️ 8 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture has reduced slightly into a concentrated fruit syrup. Let the fruit bases cool completely.
5
Integrating the Dairy: Once the fruit concentrates are cold, whisk in 100ml of heavy cream or fresh milk into each fruit batch until the color is consistent and the mixture is creamy.
6
The Churning Process: If using a home ice cream maker, pour one fruit batch at a time into the frozen bowl and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If mimicking the traditional "rolling" method shown, spread a thin layer of the mixture onto a pre-chilled metal tray placed over a bed of ice and salt, then scrape off the frozen layers as they set.
7
Preparing the Crunch: Place the walnuts on a flat surface or in a shallow pan. Use a heavy rolling pin or a mallet to crush them into small, irregular pieces. Lightly toast them in a dry pan for ⏱️ 2 minutes to enhance their aroma.
8
Assembly & Serving: Scoop the various fruit ice creams into bowls, layering the different colors. Generously sprinkle the crushed toasted walnuts over the top before serving.
