Blackberry Ice Cream

October 23, 2012 by becky 2 Comments

Blackberry Ice Cream

100% of the time when I have the option of picking out which ice cream flavor I want, I pick anything with chocolate in it over fruit. I like fruit ice creams but love ice cream with chocolate in it!  Well that has now changed!  This blackberry ice cream is THE BEST ice cream I have ever had in my life. I would pick this ice cream over anything.  I was surprised I liked it so much because when my husband suggested we make blackberry ice cream I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d never had blackberry ice cream before.

This ice cream is smooth and creamy with a few small blackberry chunks in it. It’s amazing! It has a custard base with blackberry puree and chunks of blackberries mixed into it.

Blackberry Ice CreamFirst step is to cook down the blackberries with some sugar. Then press half of the berries to remove the seeds and keep the other half whole so there are still some blackberry chunks in your ice cream. Then let the mixture cool.

Blackberry Ice CreamThen you make the custard ice cream base. Along with the usual ingredients of heavy cream, milk etc. it uses egg yolks (which are cooked through) to make it nice and creamy! Let that mixture cool.  Then mix the blackberry puree and ice cream base together (doesn’t it look so cool!) and churn it.

Blackberry Ice CreamThen you enjoy the best ice cream ever!

Blackberry Ice Cream
Very slightly adapted from Annie’s Eats originally from Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones
Yield: About 1 quart
Ingredients:
Blackberry Puree:
12 oz. fresh blackberries
1/4 cup sugar
Ice cream base:
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1 3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup 1% or 2% milk
1/4 tsp. kosher salt

Directions:
To make the blackberry puree, combine the berries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries have released most of their juices and the juice has reduced a bit, about 10 minutes.  Scoop half of the mixture into a bowl.  Set a fine mesh sieve over the bowl and add the remaining berry mixture to the sieve.   Press the mixture through the sieve to extract as much pulp and juice as possible while removing the seeds.  Stir the blackberry mixture together, cover, and chill.

To make the ice cream base, combine the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl and whisk briefly.  Combine the heavy cream, milk, salt and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan set over medium heat.  Bring just to a simmer.  Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly.  Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and place over medium heat.  Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 170-175 degrees F).  Pour the custard through the mesh strainer into a clean bowl or storage container.  Let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.

When you are ready to churn the ice cream, whisk the blackberry puree mixture into the ice cream base.  Add the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
