A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe combining tangy buttermilk and vibrant black raspberries for a creamy, refreshing homemade treat perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen black raspberries (about 300g / 10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml / 8 fl oz)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396g)
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream, cold (420ml / 14 fl oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberry puree: Place frozen black raspberries in a blender or food processor. Add optional lemon juice and sugar if desired. Blend until smooth or pulse lightly for some seeds. Set aside.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. Mix the base: In another bowl, combine buttermilk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth.
  4. Fold carefully: Pour the buttermilk mixture into the whipped cream bowl. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until fully combined to keep the mixture airy.
  5. Combine with raspberry puree: Swirl the black raspberry puree into the creamy base. Fold lightly for a marbled effect or fully for uniform color.
  6. Transfer and freeze: Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Serving prep: Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for best whipping results. Fold gently to maintain airiness. Stir halfway through freezing if ice crystals form. Use a glass or metal container for even freezing. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use sweetened coconut condensed milk.
