Best Black Raspberry Ice Cream Recipe
It is a delightful and unique frozen dessert that combines the rich flavors of black raspberries with the creamy goodness of ice cream. Unlike traditional raspberry ice cream, which uses red raspberries, black raspberry ice cream boasts a deeper, more intense berry flavor with subtle hints of sweetness and tartness. This makes it a favorite among ice cream enthusiasts looking for something distinctive and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 2 cup fresh black raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the black raspberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the black raspberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, if desired.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the black raspberry puree and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Stir the cooled black raspberry mixture into the cream mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
- Serve the black raspberry ice cream scoops in bowls or cones and enjoy!
Notes
For added texture and flavor, you can fold in some chopped black raspberries or chocolate chunks into the ice cream before freezing.
