For a smoother texture, strain the kumquat purée through a fine-mesh sieve before adding it to the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your kumquats. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make a version of this ice cream using the 'no-churn' method. Simply whisk the mixture every 30 minutes while it freezes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
