A creamy, luscious homemade black raspberry ice cream with a classic custard base and fresh berry swirl, perfect for warm weather and nostalgic summer memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh or frozen black raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine black raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash some berries and set aside to macerate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream, milk, and half the sugar (about 3/8 cup or 75 g) over medium heat until warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk egg yolks with remaining sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of warm cream into egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour yolk mixture back into saucepan with remaining cream.
  5. Cook custard over low heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spatula (about 170°F / 77°C).
  6. Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap pressed on surface and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Pour chilled custard into ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (20-25 minutes) until soft-serve consistency.
  8. Transfer half the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Spoon half the raspberry mixture over it and gently swirl. Repeat with remaining ice cream and berries.
  9. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  10. If ice cream is too hard after freezing, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Slow and steady cooking of custard prevents scrambling. Chill custard thoroughly for best texture. Strain custard for smoothness. Fold in berry swirl gently to keep texture. Use fresh or thawed frozen berries. Let ice cream soften slightly before scooping if too hard.
