Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Place the fresh raspberries in a medium-sized bowl and add 0.25 cup of sugar and the lemon juice.
Step 2
Mash the raspberries with a fork or a potato masher until they release their juices. Let them sit for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberry mixture until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds. Set aside.
Step 4
In another large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 0.5 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir the raspberry puree into the cream mixture until fully combined.
Step 6
Pour the raspberry cream mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream thickens, usually 20-25 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
