To celebrate Wimbledon, home-cooking ace Kirstie Allsopp serves up some sensational treats that are quick and simple to prepare

Ice cream to change your life! This is the easiest recipe ever for ice cream and can be adapted to any flavour you like — chocolate, caramel swirl, any fruit!

What you'll need

400g (14oz) fresh or frozen berries

Juice of 1 lemon

55g (2oz) caster sugar

1pt carton whipping cream

405g can Carnation Condensed Milk Light

1tbsp vanilla extract

To serve

Waffle ice cream cones

Serves 12

Place the berries in a pan with the lemon juice and sugar and cook until syrupy (about 5-10 minutes). Cool, then strain the berry sauce through a sieve to remove the pips.

Beat the cream to soft peaks then add the condensed milk and vanilla and beat again to soft peaks.

Pour the ice cream into a freezable container and swirl through the berry sauce.

Freeze until solid (about three to four hours or overnight).

To serve, leave out for 5-10 minutes before serving in ice cream cones!

Tips You can use any berries for this — try blackcurrants, blueberries or raspberries. Adjust the sugar with the fruit according to taste. Or just make a plain base ice cream with the cream, condensed milk and vanilla and swirl through Carnation Caramel or chocolate sauce.
