sunday dessert: lemon cake topped with plum ice cream. it turned out to be the perfect pairing! find the recipe for the cake here. the ice cream recipe is super simple: Plum Ice Cream, recipe by David Lebovitz, The Perfect Scoop 1 pound plums (about 6 to 8) 1/3 cup water 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 tsp. kirsch Slice plums in half and remove pits. Cut into eighths and put in a medium, nonreactive saucepan with the water. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature. Once cool, puree in a blender or food processor with the cream and kirsch until smooth.
