Homemade Romantic Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
2. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds (optional). Let the raspberry sauce cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until thick and creamy.
5. Transfer half of the ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Spoon some raspberry sauce over the top and gently swirl with a knife.
6. Add the remaining ice cream, drizzle with more raspberry sauce, and create soft ripples without fully mixing.
7. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Tips for Best Results

• Make sure the raspberry sauce is completely cool before swirling it into the ice cream.
• For extra romance, add a few dark chocolate shavings or white chocolate chips.
• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, I can give you a no-churn version too.
