How To make A1 Raspberry Ice Cream (like Ben & Jerry's
x
Ingredients 1 pt raspberries, fresh 1 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 each lemon, juice of 2 lg eggs 2 cup heavy, or whipping cream 1 cup milk
Directions: Compared to other fresh fruit, raspberries are intensely flavorful and very tart, so to make ice cream you need less fruit and more sugar. Although I find that 1 cup of sugar works well from my tastebuds. Toss the raspberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and the lemon juice together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the heavy cream and milk and whisk to blend. Drain the juice from the raspberries into the cream mixture and blend. Mash the raspberries with a fork until pureed and stir them into the cream mixture. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. Makes 1 very generous quart. You may need to adjust the recipe down so it'll fit into your ice cream maker. NOTE: If you prefer a chunkier raspberry ice cream, return the raspberries to the refrigerator after pouring off the juice. After the ice cream stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, add the whole raspberries.
