Raspberry Ice Cream with Chocolate

16 years ago

I'm on a roll and I have Sooz and Shaun to blame for it.

Using the Five Minute - Three Ingredient Ice Cream recipe, I made raspberry ice cream and when it was almost set I drizzled in chocolate ganache and gave it a stir.

thank Sooz and Shaun for this one spreading like wildfire!

*********************************************

Three Ingredient Five Minute Berry Blast Ice Cream
one 10-oz pkg frozed sliced mixed berries
1/2 C sugar
2/3 C heavy cream
2 Tbsp vodka (optional) Â prevents ice crystals and makes it creamier
Put a bit of cream in a food processor or blender. I used a food processor just because it's easier to clean than my blender.
Add the froz berries and sugar and process until roughly chopped.
With the processor or blender running, add the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Done!
Put it in the fridge overnight--or sit and eat it right then and there!
As Shaun mentioned, you can always add vodka.

LOOKING for: Ice Cream recipe using Chocolate Milk
Q
Comments (7)
Ok, I tried the About.com recipe, which was essentially chocolate milk, sweetened condensed milk and cool whip. (I added some HersheyÂs syrup to make it more chocolate-y). It didnÂt turn out to be what I hoped for, and given the ingredients, I know why - itÂs really more like ice milk than ice cream. It didnÂt freeze well in the ice cream maker, instead staying at a WendyÂs Frosty consistency Â and thatÂs kind of what it tasted like, too (which isnÂt bad of course, just not what I was going for) When I put it in the freezer, it froze very solid, too solid. Taking it out of the container was like a granita. the next time we're in this "predicament" of too much chocolate milk, I'll try a recipe with more fat, either from cream or eggs. Until then, I have a stash of this ice milk in the freeze which will make quite a few awesome milk shakes...

Handling the ice cream, I found it melted very quickly, not so much because of the sauce. I also have a hard time working quick enough for ice cream rolls and cakes too. I just used chocolate chips and was pretty impressed with it. I tried a different recipe because I couldn't find this one and it was pretty bad - too much butter I think. I did use to work for DQ in my teen years and the dilly bars were easy because you use the ice cream machine and refreeze them then dip them. Kind of off topic but I love this story, I went to dip a cone and we kept the chocolate sauce right at the edge of the counter and I went to dip a cone and guess I held it in too long because when I pulled it out the ice cream plopped in it and splashed all over some kid who couldn't stand any closer (don't worry its lukewarm, if that, so no scalding, burns, nothing) but the the first thing I grabbed was the sundae rag, so not only was she covered in chocolate but also blueberry, pineapple, caramel. The mom was so mad she just left the store??? Whatever. I thought it was funny but what do you expect from a 16 yr old.

Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe request

Here is my favorite recipe: Chocolate Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart 2 cups heavy cream 3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup granulated sugar 5 large egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Warm 1 cup of the cream with the cocoa powder in a medium saucepan, whisking to thoroughly blend the cocoa. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer at a very low boil for 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Then stir in the remaining 1 cup cream. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, scraping the saucepan as thoroughly as possible, and set a mesh strainer on top of the bowl. 2. Warm the milk and sugar in the same saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan. 3. Stir the mixture constantly over the medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula (170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the chocolate mixture until smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Stir until cool over an ice bath. 4. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. (If the cold mixture is too thick to pour into your machine, whisk it vigorously to thin it out.) I usually make it with 1/2 cup toasted chopped almonds or hazelnuts and then use 1 tbsp of Amaretto or Frangelico (depending on the nut) instead of the vanilla. I add the nuts close to the end of the freezing cycle. I would call this a "double chocolate" ice cream, as the chocolate is very intense. You may not want nuts for a three year old, but consider it when making it for adults. I've made this recipe many times, and it is definitely my favorite. Sometimes I substitute three whole eggs for the five egg yolks, and that works also. Lars

I made the Dave Lebovitz chocolate ice cream last night. It was delicious!! Very rich. But very easy to make. Thanks for posting that Tracey! By the way I used TJ's pound plus dark chocolate in the recipe. Hard to measure exactly since they are not in one ounce squares. So since the recipe called for four ounces, and the bar is 17.6 ounces, I just used 1/4 of the bar. Yes, just a bit MORE than the four ounces called for but I prefer to err on the side of excess when it comes to chocolate. Yummy!!!

Okay, everyone's beautiful pictures made me do it. I made the Strawberry last night, using almond extract as an added flavoring. It was simply delicious.

I thought the same thing, Lee, about the summer torte we all made last year. It's fun to have a recipe for the summer season, isn't it?

Ann, thankfully I have quite a lot of organic raspberries set aside in my freezer, which needed this recipe. Thanks for the inspiration!

ann t, remember the white chocolate raspberry tart drizzled w/ chocolate that you posted? I made it last year for my BD, and thought I might do a repeat this year. Just picked the raspberries today...

Now, I think I'll make an ice cream pie from this recipe instead (to try something new & different..)

Any suggestions on how to best construct it? A chocolate graham cracker crust? Whipped cream & grated semi-sweet choclate shavings to top it?

The recipe should read: Put it in the Freezer - not the fridge.

I added vanilla rather than vodka and I stir every half hour or so until the ice cream is set and more or less frozen. I think that helps keep it creamy too.

I want to try it with pears next time.

lindac - I made this recipe into a pie and it turned out beautifully.

I actually made two separate batches and when they were freezing I made a crust with crushed chocolate wafers & butter, which I baked & cooled.

I filled the cooled crust w/ 1 1/2 batches of the ice cream and let it set in the freezer for about 3 hrs. It cut very neatly into slices which I topped with fresh whipped cream and some shaved chocolate curls.

I had a candle on my piece as it was my birthday dessert. Everyone loved it!

Thanks for bringing this back up. I've been wondering the past couple weeks if people are still making this. Aside from it being so fast and easy, I love that it doesn't make a ton of it. Easier to portion control. I have a bag of mixed berries....maybe tomorrow.

I freeze strawberries and bananas for smoothies, but they're great for this ice cream too. This summer if any fruit needs to be used up, I'm going to prep and freeze it. Apples, I'll peel, pit and cut, then nuke til tender with a little sugar and cinnamon. Apple pie ice cream....mmmm.

I had also forgotten about this ice cream, it was fast and delicious, I'll have to make it again. I did make strawberry, and a banana version with some peanut butter swirled in, but now I'm thinking dark chocolate mocha.

I think Elery's daughter and her husband is coming up for 4th of July, I might have to make some ice cream. I wonder if my home canned apple pie filling would freeze OK, so I could use that, since it's already cooked....

Now that I see the recipe, I see what I got wrong yesterday. I didn't even know this was posted, but I still made it. So yes, it is still being used. Except, be sure to use 3/4 a cup of cream, not more! Or it just doesn't have the right consistency.

annie1992

rita and Tracey, the recipe is on the What's For Dinner thread. The original recipe was posted by Sooz, and Shaun posted it on WFD.

Instant ice cream

1 (12 ounce) frozen unsweetened strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (you can use half-and-half)

Place strawberries and sugar in food processor.
Process until finely chopped, scraping bowl occasionally.
With processor running slowly add cream.
Process until mixture is smooth and creamy.
You can also use peaches, blueberries...........

*I added 2 T Vodka to keep it creamy.

THEN put into freezer.

The recipe I use is:

One 10-oz pkg frozed sliced mixed berries

( Peaches)

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup heavy cream

(I added vanilla )

Additional fruit optional

I made a minor change by adding additional fruit and vanilla.

I reached for the cream on the shelf at the market and looked at the ingredients. There were 4 brands of heavy cream. ALL had additives! Is that normal? Additionally they were all ultra pastureized. I know that I've seen recipes that state one should not use that type of processed cream. If my wonderful supermarket had only ultra pastureized cream, where does one find some that is not?

Ellen, no idea why recipes state no ultra pastureized. I buy Organic Valley dairy products. Their heavy cream is ultra pastureized, but if it has a negative effect on my ice cream it sure isn't evident.

Made tiramisu ice cream today. It was rich, but no flavor match for the mocha latte that we love. I did learn that adding liquor (in this case Kahlua) made the ice cream softer, easier to scoop. From now on I'll make that addition to the mocha latte. Also discovered I'd rather bits of chocolate in the ice cream, than a ganache topping.

Compumom, I get my cream from Trader Joe's--is there one near you?

CindyMac, that is one delicious looking photo.

I made chocolate ice cream today from a recipe on joyofbaking.com--there is even a nice video there! I didn't have a money shot of it, but you can see it doing it's magic inside my little Rival ice cream maker. It's hardening up in the freezer right now for Saturday's dessert, and earlier, I made a custard base for what I'm calling Vanilla Almond Cherry Garcia. I usually add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of vodka to my ice cream to keep it from being too icey-hard.

Also pictured here is a photo of the 3 ingredient raspberry ice cream I made a while ago. I can't recall if I added shaved chocolate to it, or if those specks are the raspberry seeds.

Never heard of the vodka to help with texture. I'll have to try that. I make a matcha green tea one using coconut milk. I made ice cream sandwiches last summer using a gluten-free chocolate wafer cookie. (added a bit of mint to the 'cream'. ) It is a good fruit year so far. No fruit at all last year. Cherry tree is full. Raspberries and blueberries should be great.

A few weeks ago made a raspberry(frozen) / rhubarb tart and tucked chopped dark chocolate all around the crust edge. Love that combination.

(i don't usually do no dairy/gluten-free but did it for a friend)

I use vodka in my homemade bug spray so just bought the cheapest that was in a glass container. Wanted glass since it will be on the shelf forever.
