Bring 1 quart of water to a boil w/ a pinch of salt. Blanche kale leaves for 10 seconds or
up to 3 or 4 mins depending on how much you want the kale to merge into the ice
cream. I did mine for about 20
seconds. It retained a bit of
color and texture in the finished ice cream that was appealing to my
testers.

Prep out the fruit.
Chop the kale. Warm the
condensed milk in the hot water to release it from the can.
Combine all the ingredients except the heavy cream into the
food processor. Blend until
smooth, scraping down the bowl a few times to incorporate all the
ingredients. Pour the mix into 2
or 3 ice cube trays. The less you
fill them up, the better. Freeze
overnight.
Pop out the cubes.
They may stick, so use a blunt butter knife to pry them out.
Blend with the heavy cream or coconut
cream in the food processor, scraping the bowl often until the mix is uniformly
smooth.
Add any additions such as
nuts, cookie bits, cookie dough, fresh fruit, etc. Spoon into freezer containers & freeze until solid. Remove from the freezer & let sit
out for 5 to 10 mins to soften before serving.
If you have an ice cream maker, go for it, adding the cream
and letting the machine do its thing.
But there’s no need to get one.
Ice cube trays work great.
Everyone loves ice cream.
Kale continues to trend.
Its texture is a sumptuous addition to ice cream.
