Preparation – 15 minutes
tip: freeze the passive ice cream bowl 1 day in advance.
Peel all the lychee, you can use a paring knife to make it easier. Remove the pit and add the lychee and the milk to a small saucepan. Skip the peeling part when using canned lychees.
Heat up the small saucepan using medium heat and pour in the milk. Let the milk absorb the lychee flavours for about 5 minutes. Turn down the heat when the milk starts to boil. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture.
We like smooth ice cream, so therefore we pressed it through a fine sieve. But if you like pieces of lychee in your ice cream, there's no need to sieve the mixture.
Add the canned condensed milk, turn off the heat, stir, and let the mixture cool off a bit.
Finishing the lychee ice cream - 40 minutes
Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and let run for about 40 minutes, depending on your machine.
When done, remove the ice cream from the ice cream maker and place it into the freezer. Enjoy this lovely smooth ice cream!

Hi, could I blend the lychee before adding to the milk as I don't have an immersion blender

Hi Angela,
in that case, you could blend the lychee with the milk before adding it to the saucepan.
Kind regards,
Véronique

If I use canned lychee do I include the syrup? And how many cans do I use?

I'm not sure what size the cans are? We always use fresh lychees, so I would suggest to count about 16 canned lychees instead of counting them in cans or grams. Use them without syrup, maybe you can make a lovely sauce to go with the ice cream from the syrup :)
