Berry Bash Delight Ice Cream

 Here's a recipe for Berry Bash Delight Ice Cream. It's a creamy, fruity dessert with refreshing mixed berry flavors.




Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1 cup sugar (divided)

  • 2 cups of heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added tang)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the berry sauce

  1. Cook the Berries: In a small saucepan, add the mixed berries and ½ cup of sugar. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. The berries should break down and release their juices.

  2. Blend and Cool: Once the berries have softened, mash or blend them slightly. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Optionally, add lemon juice for extra tang.

Step 2: Make the ice cream base

  1. Heat the cream and milk: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and ½ cup of sugar. Heat the mixture on medium, stirring occasionally until it starts to simmer (don’t let it boil).

  2. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and smooth.

  3. Temper the eggs: Slowly pour a bit of the hot cream into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Slowly add cream until about half of it is blended with the yolks.

  4. Cook the custard: Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mixture is done when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overheat.

  5. Add vanilla and cool: remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Let the custard cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Churn and Mix

  1. Chill the mixture: Transfer the cooled custard to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. Churn the Ice Cream: Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker. Then, churn it as the manufacturer instructs.

  3. Swirl in the Berries: In the last few minutes of churning, swirl in the cooled berry sauce to create a marbled effect.

Step 4: Freeze and Serve

  1. Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 4 to 6 hours, or until firm.

  2. Enjoy: Scoop your Berry Bash Delight Ice Cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!

This recipe combines sweet berries with rich, creamy ice cream. It's the ultimate summer treat!
