Hey, Lykkers! As summer approaches, there's nothing quite like a refreshing scoop of raspberry ice cream to cool us down.

Today, we’re excited to share our favorite recipe and some fun facts about this delightful treat!

The Joy of Raspberry Ice Cream

Raspberry ice cream is not only delicious but also offers a burst of fruity flavor that’s hard to resist. . We adore its vivid hue and the ideal harmony of acidity and sweetness it offers. It's really easy to make at home, and we can alter it to our preferences!

Ingredients You'll Need

To make our homemade raspberry ice cream, we gathered a few essential ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh raspberries (or frozen, if you prefer)

• 1 cup of heavy cream

• 1 cup of whole milk

• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

With these ingredients ready, we're set for an exciting kitchen adventure!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Raspberries: Start by washing the raspberries thoroughly. If you’re using frozen raspberries, let them thaw for a bit. We often mash a handful with a fork to release their juices for extra flavor.

2. Mix the Base:Combine the sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, whole milk, and a pinch of salt in a mixing dish. Until the sugar is completely dissolved, whisk the mixture. Our ice cream is smooth and delicious because of this creamy foundation!

3. Add the Raspberries: Gently fold the prepared raspberries into the mixture. We love leaving some chunks for texture, but feel free to puree them if you prefer a smoother consistency.

4. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours with the bowl covered. This stage is essential because it guarantees that the flavors will blend harmoniously.

5. Churn the Ice Cream: Once chilled, transfer the blend into an ice cream maker. Churn for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, as directed by the maker.

6. Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 4-6 hours for a firmer texture. The waiting is tough, but the result is so worth it!

Enjoying Our Creation

Once our raspberry ice cream is ready, we can’t wait to dig in! We love serving it in bowls or cones, often topped with fresh raspberries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It’s the perfect treat for warm days or as a delightful dessert after dinner.
