Take a small pan add black grapes juice to it. Keep it covered on low flame for about 4 to 5 mins. Once the prunes are soft and tender. Grind them into a processor. Don’t remove the prunes puree let it rest in the processor container only.

You could also top this ice cream with few choco chips and almonds.

Tip:

1. You could make just Prunes Ice cream if you don’t like chocolate flavor. Just discard Cocoa Powder.
2. Marsh mallows helps in binding and to set the ice cream. If you don’t have marsh mallows it is alright. You can skip it.

Happy Pruning!
