NO-CHURN ALMOND AND RASPBERRY SWIRL ICE CREAM



No-Churn Almond and Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream image

No ice cream machine required for this frozen treat, as the cream is whipped before being frozen. Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste will make a good substitute here if you don't have almond extract and don't want to go to the store.

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups (600 g) fresh raspberries
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. almond extract
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring raspberries, sugar, and ¼ tsp. salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until raspberries begin to burst and lose their shape, about 4 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass, pressing on solids; discard solids. Pour back into saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, 10-15 minutes. (You should have about 6 Tbsp.) Transfer back to measuring glass and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix condensed milk, almond extract, and remaining ¾ tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat cream in a medium bowl, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high as it thickens, until billowy and stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream to condensed milk mixture and mix in with a rubber spatula (this is just to lighten it so that the next stage-folding-is easier). Add remaining whipped cream; fold in, running spatula down sides and along bottom of bowl, then lifting up through center and over top while rotating bowl to integrate without deflating, until very few streaks of condensed milk mixture remain.
  • Scrape about one third of ice cream base into a loaf pan that's at least 8½x4½". Drizzle over one third of raspberry syrup. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with raspberry syrup (no need to be precise). Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, make figure-eight motions through ice cream base to swirl raspberry syrup throughout. Cover with plastic wrap or an airtight silicone lid and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
  • To serve, transfer loaf pan to refrigerator and let ice cream soften 10 minutes before scooping into bowls.
  • Do Ahead: Ice cream can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.

RASPBERRY SWIRL ICE CREAM



Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream image

I'm a firm believer in being very nice to the people who feed me, which comes from working in restaurants and seeing what can happen to people who aren't. I have a particular soft spot for the young folks at my local fish market, who wake early each morning to unpack, bone, and clean icy cold fish all day long. Since their freezer has a much larger capacity than mine, and their capacity for eating ice cream follows suit, I got into the habit of bringing them lots of ice creams and sorbets. Each time I'd bring them another flavor, they'd drop whatever work they were doing, rip off the lid, and dig right in. They liked this Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream the most, and it earned me VIP status instantly. Since that day, I've gotten the quickest and most helpful service of anyone who shops at that fish store. This perplexes the other shoppers, who have no idea of the power of homemade ice cream. For best results, layer the just-churned ice cream with the raspberry swirl and avoid stirring it to preserve the colorful contrast between the frozen vanilla custard and the gorgeous swirl of raspberries.

Yield makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1 1/2 liters)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
2/3 cup (130 g) sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (160 g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
3 tablespoons (45 g) sugar
1 tablespoon vodka

Steps:

  • To make the ice cream, warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Pour the cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
  • Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream. Add the vanilla and stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
  • An hour or so before churning the ice cream, make the raspberry swirl by mashing the raspberries together with the sugar and vodka with a fork (if using frozen raspberries, let them thaw a bit first) until they're juicy but with nice-sized chunks of raspberries remaining. Chill until ready to use.
  • Freeze the ice cream custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. As you remove it from the machine, layer it in the container with spoonfuls of the chilled raspberry swirl mixture.
  • To make Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream, substitute blackberries for the raspberries and add 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture.
  • Sandwich Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream between Oatmeal Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies (page 226) or Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies (page 223).
