Description

Whip up the best homemade raspberry ice cream with this easy recipe! Enjoy a luscious, fruity frozen treat perfect for any day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups black raspberries
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours, or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.

2. Add the black raspberries to a food processor. Blend until smooth.

3. Strain the seeds out of the black raspberries with a sieve, pressing down with the back of a spatula or spoon to press out as much juice as possible. Set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.

5. Add the milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.

6. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.

7. Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.

8. Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.

9. Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.

10. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract and stir to combine.

11. Add in the black raspberry puree and stir until incorporated.

12. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until cold.

13. Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

14. Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Thoroughly chill the ice cream maker bowl for at least 24 hours. Strain the raspberry puree for a silky-smooth texture. Temper eggs slowly and whisk constantly to prevent scrambling. Taste the base before chilling to adjust sweetness.
Storage & Serving: Store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 weeks. Let soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or homemade raspberry sauce.
Variations: Mixed Berry Swirl, Chocolate Chunk Raspberry, Lemon Raspberry, Almond Raspberry, Vegan Raspberry Ice Cream (using full-fat coconut milk and soaked cashews).
