Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the fresh raspberries in a medium-sized bowl and add 0.25 cup of sugar and the lemon juice.
Mash the raspberries with a fork or a potato masher until they release their juices. Let them sit for about 15 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberry mixture until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 0.5 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Stir the raspberry puree into the cream mixture until fully combined.
Pour the raspberry cream mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream thickens, usually 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
