Shortcakes and Kiwi Ice cream

I brought this for dessert at the in-laws and it was a big hit!

For the "shortcakes" as I felt like calling them I just made cupcakes out of a yellow cake mix, easy enough.

Kiwi Ice cream:

6 kiwi's
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4-1 c. sugar
1 lime

Remove kiwis from the skin and mash up. Add the 2 tbsp. sugar and let sit in the fridge for an hour. After an hour in a separate bowl add the sugar(I felt like a cup was a little much so somewhere between 3/4 and 1 c.) and a bit of the heavy cream. Whisk together until the sugar and cream are incorporated, whisk for about 30 seconds. Add a little more cream and whisk again for another 30 seconds. Do this a couple more times until the cream is all added. Add in the kiwi, zest from the lime and juice from the lime. Pour into your ice cream maker and follow those instructions. Pour into a air tight container and freeze if using later. Scoop over the cupcake and serve
