Time 4h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pints fresh blackberries
1 1/4 cups sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
5 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Combine the blackberries, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the blackberries are broken down and syrupy, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer. Using a whisk or spoon, force out as much of the deep purple liquid as you can, and then set it aside to cool. Discard the blackberry pulp and seeds.
  • Heat the half-and-half and remaining 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Using a whisk, beat the egg yolks until pale and thick. Temper the eggs by splashing a small amount of the warm cream into the yolks, whisking constantly. Pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan, stirring gently. Cook over medium-low heat until thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the bowl with the berries, and then pour in the custard and stir to combine. If you have time, refrigerate this mixture until cool.
  • Freeze the mixture according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
  • When it is frozen, chop the chocolate into chunks and stir into the ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and allow it to harden for several hours or overnight.
