Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Gently wash the fresh raspberries, then blend them until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, creating a velvety base for the ice cream.
  2. Combine Milk, Cream, and Sugar: In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely, ensuring a balanced sweetness and smooth consistency.
  3. Add Vanilla and Lemon Juice: Remove the milk mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice to enhance flavor and add brightness.
  4. Mix in the Raspberry Puree: Slowly whisk the strained raspberry puree into the cream mixture, blending thoroughly to achieve a vibrant pink color and fruity flavor.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled to help the ice cream churn evenly and quickly.
  6. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–30 minutes) until the consistency is soft-serve thick.
  7. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press parchment paper on the surface to prevent ice crystals, and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • Use ripe raspberries for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Strain the puree thoroughly to remove seeds for a smooth texture.
  • Chill your milk and cream before starting to help the machine churn faster and reduce iciness.
  • Do not skip lemon juice as it enhances the raspberry flavor and prevents dullness.
  • Store ice cream in a flat, airtight container in the coldest part of the freezer to avoid freezer burn.
