- Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
- While the cream mixture is chilling, prepare the raspberry swirl. In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
- Once the cream mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
- When the ice cream reaches soft-serve consistency, transfer half of the ice cream into a container. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the raspberry puree on top, then add the remaining ice cream. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the raspberry puree into the ice cream.
- Cover and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Scoop, serve, and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
