Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the raspberry mixture into a large bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Gradually stir the milk mixture into the strained raspberry puree, making sure everything is evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 2–3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process usually takes 20–25 minutes.
Transfer the churned sherbet into a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly.
Freeze the sherbet for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm and scoopable.
Serve the red raspberry sherbet in bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
