With so many flavors of ice cream available in the market, one may wonder why make it yourself. Well, there is something so special about homemade ice cream…you can customize the flavor with your favorite ingredients like fruits, chocolate, chips, nuts and control the consistency to make it either super-rich, or low-fat depending on dietary needs. And it is such a fun activity for the kids! They can decide what they want to mix in it and are very excited to try the outcome.
With blackberries at their season's peak, its the perfect time to indulge in blackberry desserts. In the Northwest, blackberry season spans the end of summer and the beginning of fall. We have big beautiful blackberries all around the neighborhood. It was fun picking the juiciest ripest blackberries.
The beautiful purple color the berries left on my hand already set my mind imagining the rich purple color the ice cream would be. And after an hour there it was, right in front of my eyes, exactly the way I imagined!
Luscious purple colored ice cream is such a visual treat! And the rich creamy taste of the ice cream infused with the sweet tartness of the berries is just divine!
I made this ice cream in an ice cream maker but it can be also made if you do not have one.
Recipe
Ingredients (around 6 scoops)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup half and half
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups blackberries
Method
- Process blackberries in a mixer till pureed
- Strain the puree through a fine sieve, and discard seeds
- Combine milk and sugar. Mix till the sugar is completely dissolved
- Mix it with half and half, whipping cream and strained blackberry puree
- Process the mixture in ice cream machine.
If you don’t have an Ice Cream Maker …
- Chill the mixture in refrigerator for 3-4 hours
- Pour the mixture in a freezer safe container, cover and freeze for an hour
- Remove from the freezer, and stir to break up the ice crystals that may have formed
- Repeat the process every hour for 3-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm
Scoop your ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
