1
Mixing the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
2
Adding Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract into the milk and cream mixture until well incorporated.
3
Chilling the Base
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.

4
Preparing the Raspberry Flavor
In a blender, puree the fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then fold the raspberry puree into the chilled base mixture.
5
Preparing the Strawberry Flavor
In a blender, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then fold the strawberry puree into the chilled base mixture.
6
Preparing the Chocolate Flavor
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips into the chilled base mixture until well combined.

7
Churning
Pour the flavored mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
8
Freezing
Transfer the churned sorbet or gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
