Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen black raspberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Black Raspberry Mixture:
    In a saucepan, combine the black raspberries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
    Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • Blend the Black Raspberry Mixture:
    Transfer the cooked raspberry mixture to a blender or food processor.
    Blend until smooth and well combined.
    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
    Let the strained mixture cool completely.
  • Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk.
    Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the Raspberry and Cream Mixtures:
    Once both mixtures are cooled, combine the raspberry mixture with the cooled cream mixture.
    Stir until well incorporated.
  • Chill the Ice Cream Base:
    Cover the ice cream base and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
  • Churn the Ice Cream:
    Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
    In the last few minutes of churning, add the semisweet chocolate chips or chunks into the ice cream maker.
    Continue churning until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  • Freeze the Ice Cream:
    Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container.
    Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, ensuring it’s airtight.
    Freeze the ice cream for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Scoop the homemade Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream into bowls or cones.
    Garnish with additional chocolate chips or fresh black raspberries if desired.
    Indulge in the creamy, fruity, and chocolatey goodness of this homemade ice cream delight!
