1 Ice cream maker (or loaf pan if no ice cream maker is available)
1 Spatula
1 Whisk
Ingredients
1cupfresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
3tablespoonsgranulated sugar
1teaspoonlemon juice
2cupsheavy cream
1cupwhole milk
¾cupsweetened condensed milk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Swirl
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture becomes slightly thickened.Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Optionally, strain to remove seeds for a smoother texture.Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Ice Cream Base
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.Whisk together until smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to keep it creamy.
Step 4: Add the Raspberry Swirl
Once the ice cream has reached the soft-serve stage, transfer it to a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container.Spoon dollops of the raspberry sauce over the ice cream, then gently swirl it with a spatula or knife to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix, so the swirls remain distinct.
Step 5: Freeze
Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze the ice cream for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Step 6: Serve
Once the ice cream is set, scoop and serve in bowls or cones. Enjoy the refreshing raspberry swirl with creamy vanilla base!
