What each ingredient does

Raspberries or blackberries
Provide the fruit flavor and texture that make up the frozen dessert.
Sugar
Sweetens the berries and helps draw out their juice for a softer, more pourable mix.

The step that matters

Stirring the sugared berries in at the right moment. Adding berries after the mixture has frozen, but before repacking, keeps them intact and evenly distributed. Stirring too early lets sugar and juice combine with the ice and dilute the mixture, so it may freeze less firmly.
