Move over lemon ice cream… there’s a new kid in town.
I made this chocolate-raspberry ice cream for the first time other day. It certainly won’t be the last – all four of us were completely wowed by it.
The recipe couldn’t have been easier. Four basic ingredients – cream, chocolate, sugar, raspberries. And being a Philadelphia-style ice cream, there was no messing about with egg yolks and custard.
I chose to sieve the purée to remove the raspberry seeds, which added a few minutes’ work. But given how many raspberries there are in this recipe, it was worth it.
The pinkish cast to the chocolately brownness hints at the raspberries waiting within. Another winning recipe from David Liebowitz’s The Perfect Scoop.

- Heat the cream, cocoa powder and sugar in a heavy pot over medium heat, whisking regularly, until it comes to a full boil.

Reblogged this on day of cake.
Tried in waffle cones for company of 6. As tasty as promised and the quantities gave each of us one good scoop
Good to hear! Tempted to whip up another batch now to cope with the mini heat wave we’re having over here…
