What each ingredient does

Rich boiled custard
Provides the creamy base and body that carries the raspberry flavour.
Ripe red raspberries
Supply the fruit flavour, colour and acidity that give the dessert its character.

The step that matters

Pass the mixture through a sieve. Raspberries carry many small seeds and fibrous pulp. Sieving removes them so the freeze gives a smooth, even texture rather than a gritty one.
