Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- For the Raspberry Swirl:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- For the Ice Cream Base:
- 2 cups heavy cream (cold)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Swirl:
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional). Let cool completely.
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add Mix-Ins:
- Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.
- Layer and Swirl:
- In a loaf pan or airtight container, spread half of the ice cream base evenly.
- Dollop half of the raspberry sauce on top and use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the ice cream.
- Repeat with the remaining ice cream base and raspberry sauce.
- Freeze:
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Serve:
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the raspberry sauce instead of straining it.
- Add a handful of fresh raspberries for extra texture and freshness.
