Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Let it cool.
- In a blender or food processor, blend raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- In a bowl, combine the raspberry purée, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cooled syrup. Mix well.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).
- Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop and serve, garnished with fresh raspberries or mint if desired.
Notes
- Use very ripe raspberries for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Chilling the mixture before churning improves texture and freeze time.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes until set.
