  • Author: lisa Hartwell
  • Total Time: 6 hours (including chilling and freezing)
  • Yield: 1 quart 1x

Description

A nostalgic and richly flavored frozen treat with vibrant color and tangy-sweet black raspberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen black raspberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup black raspberry preserves (optional, for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup white or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine black raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium heat until berries break down and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and cool completely.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cooled berry puree with heavy cream and whole milk until well combined.
  5. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator.
  6. Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Optional: fold in preserves or chocolate chips at the end of churning.
  8. Transfer to a shallow container, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm.
  9. Let sit 5–10 minutes before serving for perfect scooping texture.

Notes

Use deeply colored black raspberries for best flavor and color. For a smoother texture, do not skip straining the berry mixture.
