Raspberry Ice Cream

Creamy raspberry ice cream made from a custard base of egg yolks and cream. This easy recipe is made with fresh or frozen raspberries and uses an ample amount to bring out their tart flavor.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 12 hours
Servings 1 quart

Equipment

  • ice cream machine to churn

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks from large eggs
  • 100g or ½ cup g granulated sugar
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 480g or 2 cups heavy cream
  • 340g ripe raspberries frozen or fresh (if fresh, taste the berries first - make sure they're flavorful)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a pot, add the sugar, salt and egg yolks and heavy cream. Set over medium low heat.
  • Cook until the temperature reaches 165 F; you’ll see the bottom of the custard thicken.
  • Transfer to a bowl (if you see bits in the cream, run it through a fine mesh sieve into the bowl) and set aside.
  • Puree the raspberries in a food processor on high.
  • Set a fine mesh sieve over the bowl of cooked custard and pour the raspberry puree into the sieve. Stir it and press on the berries to release as much puree as possible - take your time (and use your muscle!) to ensure you get all of it. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to capture that puree too.
  • Add the lemon juice to the mix and stir until all is combined. If you like, you can add a splash of vanilla. Let come to room temperature then cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge overnight (or for at least 6-8 hours).
  • If some of the custard has set at the top, stir it to combine.
  • Churn the mix according to your ice cream machine’s instructions. Transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze.
  • Ice cream will keep for about a month in the freezer.
