Ingredients
Directions
Make the base
Make a plain ice cream base like vanilla ice cream, but omit the vanilla.
Prepare the fruit
If using raspberries, cook them for about 5 minutes to soften.
Mash the cooked raspberries through a sieve.
Finish
Combine the fruit pulp with the ice cream base and sweeten to taste.

What each ingredient does
- Fresh fruits
- Supplies the main flavour and colour, and its pulp adds body to the base.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and keeps the frozen ice cream softer by lowering its freezing point.
The step that matters
Sweeten to taste after combining. Cold dulls our perception of sweetness, so frozen ice cream tastes less sweet than the base did. Tasting and adjusting the sugar before churning and freezing gives a balanced result.
