Fresh Fruit Ice Cream
Ingredients
Directions
Make the base
Make a plain ice cream base as you would for vanilla ice cream, but omit the vanilla.
Prepare the fruit
If using raspberries, cook them for about five minutes to soften.
Mash the cooked raspberries through a sieve.
Finish
Combine the fruit puree with the ice cream base and sweeten to taste.

What each ingredient does
- Fresh fruit and pulp
- Provides the main flavor, color and fruity body of the ice cream.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and softens the texture of the frozen ice cream.
The step that matters
Sweeten to taste after combining. Sweetness is less noticeable when a mixture is cold, and freezing dulls flavor further. Tasting and adjusting the sugar while the puree is blended into the base helps the finished ice cream taste balanced rather than bland or overly sweet.
