Fresh Fruit Ice Cream
Ingredients
Directions
Make a plain ice cream base as you would for vanilla ice cream, but omit the vanilla.
If using raspberries, cook them for about five minutes to soften.
Mash the cooked raspberries through a sieve.
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 and color, and its water content affects the ice's texture.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the base and lowers its freezing point, keeping the ice cream softer.
The step that matters
Sweeten after combining. Cold mixtures taste less sweet than they will at room temperature, so adding sugar by taste while the base is cold can lead to overly sweet results. Sugar also softens the frozen texture, so the amount affects the final ice cream.
