No-Churn Double Raspberry Ice Cream

Have some ice cream. It’ll make you feel better. If you’re hot, it will cool you down. If you’re hungry, it will fill you up. If you’re tired, it will fuel you.

Ice cream is one of my favourite summer treats, and raspberry is one of my favourite flavours, so I’m launching my summer hiatus with a recipe that combines both. Bonus, it’s no-churn, so you don’t need any fancy equipment.

The key to this recipe is a raspberry puree. I stirred 1 cup’s worth into the base and used the remainder for the ripple. If that’s too much work, stir in the whole shebang and call it a day.

Once the ice cream’s set, the rest is up to you. Eat it straight from the container with a spoon. Scoop it into a bowl and douse it in hard-top chocolate sauce. Ladle some into a cone.

Share with a friend or hide it behind a bag of frozen peas as a private stash. Your secret’s safe with me.

No matter how you enjoy this recipe, I hope you do so under the warmth of the summer sun. Or in the shade of a tree. Or safe inside with a clear view of a sky-brightening thunderstorm.

I’m signing off for a while. In the meantime stay safe, and remember — We are all in this together. Even if it means sharing ice cream.

Description

This no-churn ice cream delivers a double hit of raspberry thanks to a ripple of raspberry puree running through a raspberry base. Top with hard-top chocolate sauce, stir in some chocolate crackles, or enjoy it as is.


Scale

Ingredients

Raspberry Puree
4 cups (600g) raspberries fresh or frozen
1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vodka

Ice Cream Base
1 can (300 mL/ 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
generous pinch fine salt
2 cups (500ml) cold whipping cream (35%)


Instructions

Raspberry Puree
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the raspberries and sugar to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until the fruit is soft and has fallen apart, about 5 to 10 minutes. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and press the fruit through the sieve with the back of a ladle. Discard the seeds. Stir in the vodka. Cover and refrigerate the puree until cold.

Ice Cream Base
Line a freezer-safe container or baking tin with plastic wrap or parchment. Set aside.

Measure 1 cup (250 mL) of fruit puree and set the rest aside to swirl in later.

In a large bowl combine the condensed milk, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup raspberry puree. Be sure to scrape all the condensed milk from the tin.

In a large bowl using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Mix a generous scoop of whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Fold in the remainder of the whipped cream being careful to keep as much air in the mix as possible.

Assembly
Spoon a layer of ice cream base into the freezer container. Drizzle with some of the puree. Alternate layers of ice cream and puree. The ribbons of puree will appear when you scoop.

Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice from forming. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

To serve, allow to soften at least 10 minutes before scooping, longer if frozen overnight. Alternatively, place the ice cream in the refrigerator to soften for up to 45 minutes. Return to the freezer immediately after scooping.


Notes

Keeps frozen for about 2 weeks. The longer you leave the ice cream in the freezer, the harder it is to scoop.
