1
Prepare the Fruit
Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. If using citrus, juice the fruit.
2
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
3
Chill the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.
4
Freeze
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours.

5
Heat the Cream and Milk
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
6
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale and slightly thickened.
7
Temper the Egg Yolks
Slowly pour about 1 cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.
8
Combine and Thicken
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
9
Cool and Flavor
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
10
Freeze
Churn the cold mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
