The Verdict
After trying it, my husband declared that this was his favorite fruit ice cream.
It really is delicious.
The ice cream turned out surprisingly smooth and soft. Fruit based ice cream has a tendency to be hard and icy, so that was a special treat.
The ice cream had a beautiful purple color that makes it as elegant as it is tasty.
My extremely observant 3 year old was excited to eat it because apparently it looks like play-doh! To each his own, I guess.
Judging from the way she downed it, I’m thinking if must taste better than play-doh…well, then again, I wouldn’t but it put it past her to down the play-doh either. Hmmm….
Blackberries
For this recipe, you can use fresh blackberries or frozen blackberries.
Fresh berries
Because you will be processing the berries in a blender, it will make no difference whether your berries are beautiful or whether they were crushed.
Use up the berries that aren’t as pretty for this recipe and save the beautiful ones for garnish on top.
Frozen Berries
Frozen berries will work great in this recipe.
De-thaw a bit before processing in the blender.
Allow berries to completely de-thaw and sit with sugar for at least 2 hours so that the delicious fruit syrup can form.
Ice Cream Popsicles
Spoon ice cream into popsicle molds and enjoy as an ice-cream-sicle.
Serving Tip
Serve with chocolate.
The flavors blend incredibly well.
Use shaved chocolate, chocolate chips, or your favorite chocolate cake.
White chocolate would make a elegant contrast with the ice cream’s color.
