[blank]Our raspberries are doing great things this year, and I can see I’ll be making plenty of jam. In the meantime we eat them every day for breakfast, and yesterday evening I even made some raspberry ice cream … YUM! summer in a bowl![blank]
[blank]My favourite raspberry ripple recipe whisks me straight back to when as a girl, it was one of my favourite desserts. Maybe because it is as pretty to look at, as it is delicious to eat.
The great things about this recipe is that you don’t have to have a real ice cream maker. It is quite happy to be popped into he freezer in a tub and given the occasional stir!
To make a large quantity – and frankly there is no point in making any less when a thing is this delicious! – you will need:
2 cups of raspberries, plus a few more for decoration
225g / 1.5 cups sugar
2 lage eggs and 4 extra yolks
600ml/ 1 pint double cream
First cook the raspberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small pan,. Cook until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for a few minutes until thickened. It is preferable to push the fruit through a sieve to get rid of the tiny seeds, but this isn’t obligatory.
Now you need to make a custard. Combine the eggs, the egg yolks and the sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until they are thick and pale. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir continuously until the cream thickens. Don’t let it get too hot or the custard will turn, and you’ll have to start over! Let the custard cool before moving on to the next step.
In a separate bowl whisk the cream until it thickens enough to form soft peaks. Fold the cream and the custard together, and pour into a shallow container that won’t crack in the freezer.
Now you get to the pretty bit … pour the raspberry coulis gently into the cream and custard mix, then swirl it around just enough to create some lovely pink lines, but not so much as to colour the whole thing pink.[blank]
[blank]If you wish you can drop a few whole raspberries into the mixture at this point, but I prefer to add them whole as I serve the scoops of pink and white ice cream into individual dishes.
Thank you to everyone who writes me to say that they made a recipe successfully, I love to hear how it went![blank]

Yum, I am making homemade peach this weekend hopefully. Have a wonderful day! ENJOY!
We are off to try!
As soon as our raspberries ripen I will be making this: I love your recipes.
As with your blog, everything looks so good!
Every time I open your page I am shocked. This is so lovely.
Am I reading the recipe correctly? Is the custard just egg and sugar? Should there be some cream involved besides the whipping cream to make the custard?
I could almost taste it, Yammie, LOL!

I'm excited to try this! My daughter can't have milk so it's hard for her when the other kids have ice cream (even with cookies or cake as an alternative for her). I'll have my 15 y.o. whip it up for her. Thank you.

I think I have had people get me overly-concerned about eggs cooked well enough. Illness you can get, in other words, from an undercooked egg. When I was younger, it was nothing I thought about and would have a local healthfood store blend up a meal-shake with protein powder, fruit, raw eggs, yogurt, etc. Now, I'm a bit on the fence. In this "ice cream" recipe, does the custard actually cook enough…to cook an egg? Or isn't that what's to avoid, because one doesn't want scrambled egg in the custard? I'm not much of a cook, so that's why my question might sound stupid to somebody else! It's such a fab recipe, and so beautiful-looking, I want to give it a go!
