Fruit mince pies are one of the most polarising desserts that exist and you either really love or really hate them BUT I promise that you will love my Fruit Mince Pie Gelato.Talking to friends and family I have discovered it is the taste of the mixed peel commonly used in commercial fruit mince pies that people don?t love and I definitely fall into the camp of really disliking it… yet I couldn?t stop eating this gelato.
My gelato recipe can be adapted to suit your dietary needs including dairy free, low fodmap, egg free and Paleo. This one can’t quite be made low carb sorry!
But you can take comfort in it having much less sugar than your typical gelato recipe.
I have a couple of Thermomix gelato recipes in my cookbooks. The Healthy Mix II has a Dirty Chai Gelato recipe and A Little Taste of Italy has the most delicious Lemon Gelato recipe in it. The Lemon Gelato recipe in A Little Taste of Italy is so delicious!
