Frozen Grape Ice Cream
Chef Noor freezes seedless grapes, then blends them in a food processor with nothing added — the fruit turns thick and creamy on its own. A short spell back in the freezer firms it into a wholesome, no-sugar-added ice cream.
An ice cream from a single ingredient: frozen grapes that turn silky and creamy the moment they are blitzed. No added sugar, no cream, just the grapes natural sweetness concentrated by the cold. A light, refreshing dessert made in minutes.
How to Prepare
Freeze the grapes for at least 2 hours until solid.
Blitz the frozen grapes in a food processor until thick and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Return to the freezer for about 2 hours to firm up.
Scoop and serve straight away.

Use sweet seedless grapes; freezing them fully before blending is what gives the creamy texture.
Ingredient Swaps
Use different grape varieties; red gives a rosy color and green a tarter taste.
For an even smoother texture, add a little frozen banana.
A touch of lemon juice brightens the grape flavor.
