What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the main fruit flavor, aroma, and tartness that define the ice.
- Powdered sugar
- Adds sweetness and lowers the freezing point, keeping the ice softer and scoopable.
The step that matters
Freezing the mixture until firm. Sugar lowers the freezing point, so the ice stays softer than plain frozen water. Freezing it too long makes it hard and icy, while too short leaves it slushy and unset.
