No-Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream

Summer is here in California, so this was high on my list of treats to make. After seeing this in Nigella Express and not owning an ice cream maker (yet anyways), I thought this would be perfect! I went out on a search to find pomegranates, but never saw them. So I used pomegranate juice, and seeds that I found at Trader Joe's. For this recipe, 3/4 C juice (Am I missing something here? The recipe calls for 3 Cups of juice in the list, but 3/4 C when mixing it) I zested 2 limes and added the zest in with the juice. I found this to be almost dry and crumbly when scooped, but don't let that fool you! This is cool and creamy and with the lime, is just fantastic!

Whisk in the cream and keep whisking until soft peaks form in the pale pink cream.
Spoon and smooth the ice cream into a rigid plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Scatter with pomegranate seeds when you eat it.
