Blackberry Ice Cream at Home
When my grandmother asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift, I told her one thing. And she got
And yes, blackberries were, in fact, on sale at the market. I bought 5 cartons of them. Uncontrollably ate one of them, used 3 for this ice cream, and saved 1 for later.
It took looking at dozens of different recipes to decide the method of madness I wanted to use to create this savory ice cream. In the end, I went the custard route. Cream, cream, sugar, cream, and berries? Done.
3) Placing berries in a mesh strainer over a medium bowl, strain and extract as much juice as possible from the berries. I used a large spoon to press the berries firmly against the sides of the strainer to get out more juice. It’s okay if a bit of the berries come through the strainer. I didn’t do so but you can save the remaining berry bits and add some of those to your ice cream before putting it in the freezer to give it some texture.
12) Once your ice cream maker has finished, spoon ice cream into a freezer appropriate container and freeze for a few hours. Alternatively, you could eat the soft serve ice cream right away. I may have done a little bit of both.
13) ENJOY! I kept having a hankering for granola with this ice cream but I had none and was too lazy to make any. It happens. The ice cream was still to die for.
