Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup raspberry puree
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and add white chocolate chips. Whisk until chocolate is fully melted and incorporated into the cream mixture, creating a smooth white chocolate base.
- Stir in vanilla extract and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
- Prepare raspberry puree by blending fresh raspberries and straining to remove seeds. If using frozen raspberries, thaw and strain similarly.
- Pour chilled white chocolate base into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
- When ice cream is nearly finished churning, slowly drizzle raspberry puree into the mixture, creating beautiful swirl patterns.
- Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container, gently swirling additional raspberry puree on top for extra visual appeal.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow ice cream to firm up completely before serving.
- Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the richest, most authentic flavor.
- Ensure your cream mixture is completely chilled before churning to achieve the smoothest texture.
- When adding raspberry puree, drizzle slowly and avoid overmixing to maintain beautiful swirl patterns.
- For an extra-smooth raspberry puree, use a fine-mesh strainer when removing seeds.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture and manually stir every hour to break up ice crystals.
- For best consistency, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain optimal flavor and texture.
