Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the base mixture

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is heated through, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Add fruit puree

    Once the base mixture has cooled, stir in the fresh fruit puree. If desired, add a drop of food coloring to enhance the color.

  3. 3

    Chill the mixture

    Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.

  4. 4

    Churn the ice cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  5. 5

    Freeze the ice cream

    Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
