Ingredients
- Fresh blackberries
- 2 cups, plus extra for serving
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup, divided
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Whole milk
- 1 cup
- Heavy cream
- 2 cups
Instructions
- Start by washing the fresh blackberries thoroughly. In a blender or food processor, puree the blackberries until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberry puree with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the blackberry mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- When ready to serve, scoop the blackberry ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with extra fresh blackberries for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
Tips
- For extra creaminess, consider using a higher fat content milk or adding a few tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve some blackberry pieces and fold them into the ice cream during the last few minutes of churning.
- This ice cream pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
