Ingredients
  

2 cups grape juice (preferably 100% pure)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for added zing)

1/2 cup chopped fresh grapes (for added texture, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the grape juice, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

    Add Lemon Juice: If desired, add the fresh lemon juice to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor and provide a refreshing twist. Stir well.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour. This will help enhance the ice cream's texture.

        Churn the Ice Cream: After chilling, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-25 minutes.

          Fold in Chopped Grapes: If you're using them, fold in the chopped fresh grapes gently during the last few minutes of churning.

            Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Spread it out evenly and press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

              Serve: Scoop out the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing summer treat!
