End-of-Summer Blackberry Lemonade Ice Cream
Ingredients
2 pounds frozen blackberries (about 3 cups)
2 Cups lemonade
1 1/4 Cup sugar
1 Cup milk (2% recommended)
3 Cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Combine blackberries, 1 cup lemonade, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl and stir together. Move half the mixture to a separate bowl.
Step 2
Using a potato masher, fork, or slotted spoon, mash the berries in one of the bowls, leaving the other bowl of berries whole.
Step 3
Dissolve 1 cup of sugar into 1 cup of milk, and then add the milk mixture to the heavy cream, vanilla, and remaining cup of lemonade in a large bowl. Whisk together.
Step 4
Add mashed berries to the cream mixture and whisk gently.
Step 5
Pour mixture (or portion of mixture that will fit) into prepared ice cream maker and churn until thickened (according to manufacturer’s instructions, or about 20 minutes).
Step 6
If desired, add remaining whole berries and churn for an additional five minutes.
Step 7
Can be served immediately, but for firmer ice cream that will not melt as quickly, seal in a container and freeze overnight.
