Raspberry Lemonade Ice Cream Recipe



Last summer, daughter Emma couldn't decide if she was more enthralled with her scoop of ice cream or the paper straw garnishing the cone.



Raspberry Lemonade Ice Cream

1 1/2 cups raspberries
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Juice of 4-5 lemons
Zest of 2 lemons
3 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
Pink food coloring

Mix raspberries, condensed milk, lemon juice and zest in a stand mixer. Add half-and-half, vanilla and lemon extracts, and food coloring. (Add food coloring one drop at a time until you reach the desired saturation of pink. One drop was enough for the soft pink ice cream pictured.) Mix until mostly smooth, with some bits of raspberry remaining.

Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream freezer, and churn according to manufacturer's directions. Allow ice cream to harden in the freezer, and remove the container shortly before serving. If desired, serve in waffle cones topped with whipped cream, raspberries and lemon zest.
