- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Black Raspberry Puree:In a saucepan, combine the black raspberries and granulated sugar.Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices, and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-12 minutes).Remove from heat and let the raspberry mixture cool slightly.
- Blend the Raspberry Mixture:Transfer the cooked raspberry mixture to a blender or food processor.Blend until smooth and the raspberry seeds are broken down. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds.

- Chill the Ice Cream Base:Cover the ice cream base with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
- Churn the Ice Cream:Pour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 15-20 minutes.
- Add Chocolate Chips:During the last few minutes of churning, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the ice cream maker, allowing them to evenly distribute throughout the ice cream.
- Transfer and Freeze:Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container.Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, ensuring it’s airtight to prevent freezer burn.Freeze the ice cream for at least 2-4 hours or until firm.
