What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the main flavor, color, and fruit body of the ice.
- Powdered sugar
- Sweetens the ice and lowers its freezing point for a softer, scoopable texture.
- Water
- Dilutes the puree to set the base volume and helps form ice crystals when frozen.
The step that matters
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved. Undissolved sugar stays grainy and uneven in the finished ice. Fully dissolved sugar lowers the freezing point evenly, so the mixture freezes into a smooth, slushy texture.
