MELON WITH ORANGE & PIMM’S Mix 500g mixed melon chunks with the segments and juice of 1 orange, 1 tbsp Pimm’s and a handful chopped fresh mint. Spoon into glasses and chill until ready to serve.

Method

Tip the cream and sugar into a pan. Bring to the boil, stir until the sugar has dissolved, then turn off the heat. Tip the melon into a food processor with the lemon juice, blitz until smooth, then pour the cream onto the melon and blitz again.
Pour the mix into an ice-cream machine and churn until thick and semi-frozen, then transfer to a freezerproof container and freeze. Serve the ice cream scooped into a bowl with fresh raspberries.
