Ingredients
- 2 pints Fresh Blackberries
- 1/2 whole Juiced Lemon
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1-1/2 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Sugar
- 5 whole Egg Yolks
- 1-1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Add blackberries to a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain using a fine mesh strainer, pressing berries to extract as much juice/puree as possible. Set aside.
- Heat half-and-half and 1 cup sugar in a separate saucepan over low heat. Turn off heat when mixture is totally heated.
- Beat egg yolks by hand or with an electric mixer until yolks are pale yellow and slightly thick. Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling into the 1 1/2 cups of hot half-and-half mixture, whisking constantly. After that, pour the egg yolk/half-and-half mixture into the pan containing the rest of the half-and-half mixture. Cook over low to medium-low heat (depending on how hot your stove gets) until quite thick, stirring constantly.
- Add heavy cream to a separate bowl. Drain custard using a fine mesh strainer, then pour into the bowl with the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Add blackberry juice/puree to the cream/custard mixture and stir.
- Chill mixture completely, then freeze in an ice cream maker until thick. Place container in freezer to harden for an additional two hours.
- Evil variation: Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chunks before freezing. Delicious!
