Nectarine and Raspberry Summer Dream Ice Cream

Ingredients

• Fresh nectarines (2 cups, pitted and chopped)
• Raspberries (1 cup)
• Granulated sugar (1 cup)
• Heavy cream (2 cups)
• Whole milk (1 cup)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped nectarines and raspberries until they form a smooth puree.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Pour the ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it into a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop a more robust flavor.
6. Serve the Nectarine and Raspberry Summer Dream Ice Cream in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh fruit if desired. Enjoy your homemade, fruit-filled summer treat!
