White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream
White chocolate and raspberries are churned together in this creamy homemade ice cream, with the sweetness of white chocolate balanced by the tartness of fresh or frozen raspberries. A simple custard base gives it a rich, scoopable texture. Allow around 30 minutes of active prep plus several hours of freezing time.
Equipment
- 1 Ice Cream Maker
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Mixing Bowls
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Strainer
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup Heavy cream preferably organic
- 1 cup Whole milk fresh
- ¾ cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks organic
White Chocolate and Raspberry Sauce
- 4 ounces White chocolate chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries rinsed and dried
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and thick. Gradually add the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the custard into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
- Melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave. Stir into the cooled custard along with the raspberries, mashing slightly to blend the flavors.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
Notes
Lori’s Tips:
- For a twist, you can fold in toasted almond slivers for added texture.
- To make the ice cream more aromatic, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the custard.
- For dietary adaptations, substitute the cream with coconut cream and the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
