Sometimes, a recipe makes me happier than others. That can be due to all sorts of things, but in this case, it was because the end result was even tastier and more beautiful than I had hoped. To be honest, I’m also extra happy with the photos of this raspberry ice cream.

Photographing ice cream is always challenging because you have to work quickly, and there’s not much room to move around and adjust your setup. For this ice cream, which I made with raspberry jam, I had a few compositions in mind.

Still, I didn’t get the perfect shot right away. That is, until I started scooping and the swirl of the jam became clearly visible. Then, I went wild with my camera! The hardest part was choosing from all the photos I took. The ice cream is perfect for the summer heat!

Recipe ingredients

  • Heavy cream – the combination of the heavy cream with the condensed milk gives the ice cream a creamy texture. Depending on where you live you can also use heavy whipping cream
  • Condensed milk – since condensed milk is already sweetened you don’t need additional sugar. You can replace this with coconut condensed milk as well
  • vanilla – you can use either vanilla paste or vanilla extract
  • raspberries – you can use as many fresh raspberries as you want in this recipe. The more the better!
  • raspberry jam – the combination of the jam with the fresh raspberries makes this ice cream special. You can also use raspberry puree if you want.

How to make the fresh raspberry ice cream

Step 1: Make the ice cream base

Make the base of the ice cream by whipping the cream to stiff peaks. You can use a food processor or an immersion blender. Whatever you have available. Fold the condensed milk and the vanilla through the cream. Now add raspberry jam until you have the desired taste. Keep in mind that freezing the mixture will dull the flavors a little bit so be aware of that.

Step 2: Add the fresh raspberries

​Add the ice cream mixture to a container. First add a layer to the container and spread raspberries on top. Repeat this until all ice cream and all raspberries are used. Add a little bit of raspberry jam on top and swirl it through with a spoon for a nice effect. End with some raspberries.

Step 3: Freeze and wait

Now the hardest part of making this ice cream is waiting. You will need around 6 hours in the freezer before the ice cream is set. Take it out of the freezer 10 minutes before you’re ready to eat so it can soften just a little bit.

FAQ raspberry ice cream

Can I also make this ice cream in an ice cream maker?

Absolutely. That will make it even faster as you only have to wait for the ice cream to churn.

I don't like those raspberry seeds what do I do?

You can’t remove them from the fresh raspberries but you can use other fresh berries if you want. You can remove them from the jam or raspberry puree by using a fine mesh sieve. But to be honest if the seeds bother you it’s best to go for something like strawberries instead and turn this into a strawberry ice cream.

How do I prevent the ice cream from getting icy?

Typically this happens if you leave the ice cream in the freezer uncovered for too long. Use an airtight container or cover the ice cream with plastic wrap.

Raspberry Ice Cream

With just five ingredients, you can make a tub full of raspberry ice cream in no time. I’ll give you the recipe so you can make your own.
Prep Time10 minutes
Freezing6 hours
Total Time6 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 1 tub

Ingredients 

  • 500 ml heavy cream
  • 400 grams condensed milk 1 can
  • 3 tsp vanilla paste
  • 150-200 grams fresh raspberries as many as you like
  • 500 grams raspberry jam

Instructions

  • Whip the cream until stiff. Add the condensed milk and vanilla paste. Gently fold in until the mixture is almost smooth. Stir in the jam to make it easier to mix in. Add a few tablespoons of jam and fold it into the ice cream mixture. Taste the mixture, adding more raspberry jam until you are happy with the flavor. Make sure you have at least three tablespoons left for decoration.
  • Then, grab a container for the ice cream. I used a cake pan. Add a layer of ice cream to the pan and scatter raspberries on top. Continue filling the pan with ice cream and raspberries until it is full. Make sure you have some raspberries left for the top.
  • Use a teaspoon to spread jam over the ice cream, stirring it in slightly to create swirls. Finally, scatter the remaining raspberries on top, then cover the mold with foil or a lid.
  • Place the ice cream in the freezer for at least six hours.
  • Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving so that it’s easier to scoop.
Tips

You can easily create a new ice cream flavor by replacing the raspberry jam with another fruit jam. The same goes for the fruit.
How to store

Sealed tightly, the ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
