Making this black raspberry ice cream is a breeze. It starts with fresh or frozen black raspberries, mashed to release their sweet-tart juice. The base of the ice cream is a simple mixture of unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, and monk fruit sweetener, heated just enough to dissolve the sweetener. The mashed raspberries and a splash of vanilla extract are mixed in, giving the ice cream its beautiful color and intense flavor. The mixture is then cooled and strained to remove any seeds for a smooth finish. Optional xanthan gum can be whisked in for extra creaminess. After chilling in the fridge, the mixture is churned in an ice cream maker until it reaches the perfect consistency. The final step is freezing the ice cream until it’s firm and ready to scoop. One spoonful of this sugar-free black raspberry ice cream, and you’ll never miss the sugar!
