Blackberry Ice Cream Recipe

This blackberry ice cream recipe is simple to make. After making it, my husband declared that this was his favorite fruit ice cream. It was delicious.

hey, why not take advantage of our Irresistible Ice Cream Recipe eBook?

The ice cream turned out surprisingly smooth and soft. Fruit based ice cream has a tendency to be hard and icy, so that was a special treat.

The ice cream had a beautiful purple color that makes it as elegant as it is tasty...although my 3 year old was excited to eat it because apparantly it looks like play-doh!

Serving Tip: Serve with chocolate. The flavors blend incredibly well. Use shaved chocolate, chocolate chips, or your favorite chocolate cake. White chocolate would make a elegant contrast with the ice cream's color.

Blackberry Ice Cream Recipe

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Fridge: 2 - 24 hours
Ice Cream Maker Time: Approximately 25-30 minutes

Blackberries 1 pint (2 cups) blackberries (fresh or frozen)

Blackberries

In a food processor or blender, process berries with sugar until smooth.

Place blackberry mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Leaving the blackberries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor, so I kept mine in the fridge overnight.

If desired, strain seeds from blackberries.

Ice Cream

Mix milk and sugar together well so that sugar dissolves.

Add whipping cream and combine well.

Stir in blackberry mixture.

Pour into your ice cream machine.

Churn about 25-30 minutes or according to manufacturer's instructions.

Enjoy this delicious blackberry frozen treat!
