The Charisma of Black Raspberries

These flavorful berries are prized for their antioxidant properties and are often used in jams, pies, and, of course, ice cream.

How to make Recipe for Black raspberry Ice Cream:

In this blog post, we’ll explore black raspberries, guide you through crafting your own homemade Black Raspberry Ice Cream, to ensure your frozen creation is a success.

1. Prepare the Black Raspberry Puree:
   • Place the black raspberries in a blender or food processor and pulse until they are pureed and smooth.
   • Set aside 1 cup of the puree for the ice cream base. Reserve any additional puree for topping or other uses.
2. Prepare the Ice Cream Black Raspberry Base:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they are smooth and creamy.
   • Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
   • Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.
3. Cook the Ice Cream Base:
   • Place the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
4. Incorporate the Black Raspberry Puree:
   • Allow the ice cream base to cool slightly, then gently stir in the 1 cup of black raspberry puree. Make sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture, creating a swirl effect.
   • Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface of the ice cream base to prevent a skin from forming.
   • Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the base to cool completely.
5. Churn the Ice Cream:
   • Once the ice cream base has chilled, pour it into an Ninja ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
   • The ice cream is ready when it reaches a soft-serve consistency and the churning process is complete.
6. Freeze and Serve:
   • Transfer the churned Ninja Creami Black Raspberry ice cream into an airtight container, ensuring it is filled to about ¾ full to allow room for expansion during freezing.
   • Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm and ready to serve.
   • When serving, scoop the black raspberry ice cream into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, you can drizzle some additional black raspberry puree or top with fresh black raspberries.
   • Enjoy your homemade raspberry ice cream as a refreshing and fruity dessert that showcases the natural flavors of black raspberries.

Special Notes for Best Results:

• If you can’t find fresh black raspberries, use 2 teaspoons of black raspberry powder instead. This recipe was tested with freeze-dried black raspberry powder, and the serving size was one teaspoon. Two teaspoons equals six servings, and freeze-dried is around a 1:7 ratio to fresh fruit. As a result, it’s equivalent to around 252 grams, or little more than half of a liquid pint (puree) of black raspberry. A black raspberry powder nutritional supplement (freeze-dried and powdered) can be ordered online or purchased at a local vitamin shop.
• Puree the black raspberries thoroughly to remove the seeds. An alternative method for incorporating the fruit is to wait until the custard mixture has thickened, then remove from heat and stir in the puree or powder. This works great with the puree, however the powder never appears to dissolve completely.
• You can also make Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream by adding the Chocolate Chips in the recipe.

Conclusion:

By following this comprehensive recipe, you can create your own delicious black raspberry ice cream that highlights the sweetness and tanginess of fresh black raspberries. Treat yourself and your loved ones to this delightful homemade ice cream that combines fruity flavors with creamy goodness. Indulge in every spoonful of raspberry ice cream and savor the refreshing taste of summer.
