What each ingredient does

Ripe red raspberries
Provide the fruit flavor, color, and bulk of the dessert.
Rich boiled custard
Supplies the creamy base, with egg and dairy giving body and a smooth texture when frozen.
Sugar
Adds sweetness and balances the tartness of the raspberries.

The step that matters

Pass the mixture through a sieve. Raspberry seeds are hard and gritty, and they do not soften when frozen. Sieving while the mixture is still smooth removes them so the final texture stays silky.
