🍨 How to make homemade black raspberry ice cream:

- In a heavy bottom pot, over medium high heat, bring the milk, heavy cream, salt and vanilla to a boil.
- Once a boil has been reached, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the hot burner.
- While waiting for the milk mixture to come to a boil, blen together the egg yolks and the sugar until they are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes in a blender.
- Create a liaison of the hot milk and the sugared egg yolks by whisking the egg yolks and slowly pouring ¼ cup of the hot milk into the yolks while vigorously whisking.
- Repeat, ¼ cup at a time, until ½ of the milk mixture has been added to the yolk mixture.
- Continually whisking, combine the yolk/milk mixture with the remaining milk mixture.
- Return the base to the pot.
- Turn the heat to medium and continually stir the mixture until the temperature reaches 175-185F or coats the back of a spoon.
- Strain the base through a fine mesh strainer.
- Immediately cool the base in an ice bath.
- Puree all but ½ cup of the black raspberries and pass through a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth the remove the seeds.
- When completely cooled, add the black raspberry purree to the base and process in the ice cream machine according to the manufactures instructions.
- Spoon ½ the semi frozen homemade ice cream into your freezer safe container and spread half the whole berries over the ice cream. Top with the rest of the ice cream and the remaining berries.
- Freeze until firm.
What other berries can I use to make ice cream?
You can use strawberry and blackberry and for added variety, consider incorporating a swirl of another berry like raspberry or blueberry.
📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
It is very important to use a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the base after you have created the liaison and have it over medium heat to thicken it.
If it gets away from you, IMMEDIATELY pour off the ice cream into a bowl set over ice. DO NOT scrape the bottom of the pan. Hopefully, you can strain out the cooked eggs but often there is no saving the base and you have to start over. Be sure to strain the base before proceeding with the rest of the instructions.
This tip comes from my days as a culinary student. Try as we may, to not cook the eggs in the base, there was always a little bit that would coagulate. Straining the base ensured the ice cream was silky smooth and did not have bits of cooked egg in the finished product.
By pureeing the berries and passing them through a fine-mesh strainer, you are able to get the seeds out making the ice cream seedless black raspberry ice cream with the exception of the whole berries.
Waiting for ice cream to be ready to eat can seem like the longest wait! But I found that if you were to place your chilled base in the freezer for 30 minutes before adding it to the ice cream maker it will give it a jump start on freezing faster.
