Makes 1½ pints (900 ml)

Fig Ice Cream

Figs lend themselves particularly well to iced desserts - as Delia discovered on a visit to France.

Serves 4

Coffee Granita

Refreshing to eat and easy to make, all you need to serve this lovely dessert is some whipped cream.

Serves 8-10

Strawberry and Balsamic Ice Cream with Sweet Strawberry and Mint Salsa

The addition of balsamic vinegar to dairy products such as cream and ice cream tempers the richness and adds a subtle flavour. Couple this with its affinity with strawberries and you have something in this ice cream that is both exquisite and unique.

Makes 2½ pints (1.5 litres)

Blueberry Crumble Fromage Frais Ice Cream

Summer fruits make wonderful ice creams, and one of my favourites is crumble ice cream. One of the best is made with blueberries – the colour looks very attractive, and the flavour of the blueberries and the added crunch of crumble make this a stunni

Makes 25-30

Miniature Choc Ices

This is an unashamedly fun recipe, great for special parties and at Christmas, or to serve instead of chocolates or mints at the end of a meal. But although it's fun, the choc ices are seriously good to eat...

Serves 8

Iced Chocolate Chestnut Creams with White Chocolate Sauce

Easy to make, these impressive creams are one way to get ahead at Christmas: make them up to six weeks ahead for hassle-free entertaining.

Serves 8-10 – makes 2½ pints (1.5 litres)

Lemon Meringue Ice Cream

This is sharp, very lemony and most refreshing, truly an ice cream for summer. We have found that the shop-bought meringues actually work better than home-made ones for this as they retain their crunchiness.

Serves 8-10 – makes 2½ pints (1.5 litres)

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

This is what I'd call half dessert and half ice cream. My niece Hannah and nephew Tom are chief ice-cream tasters in our family and this one gets very high ratings indeed. It differs from most other ice creams in that it needs 2 hours in the main bod

Serves 6-8

Blackcurrant Ice Cream

If you find blackcurrants a bit too strong, or can't track them down, use other fruit such as raspberries or loganberries. Either way, you'll need to eat this within three weeks of making it, but that's no hardship!
