What each ingredient does

Rich boiled custard
Provides the creamy, rich base and body that the frozen ice cream sets from.
Ripe red raspberries
Supply the main flavour and fruity aroma, and their pulp gives colour and tartness.

The step that matters

Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove seeds. Raspberry seeds are hard and gritty, so straining the pulp while it is smooth keeps the finished ice cream silky rather than crunchy.
