Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream good quality, softened
  • 1 1/2 quarts raspberry sherbet softened
  • 12 oz frozen strawberries do NOT thaw
  • 12 oz frozen raspberries do NOT thaw

Instructions

  1. In a very large bowl (at least 7 quarts) combine the softened ice cream and sherbet.  A 7-quart stand mixer works like a charm! 

  2. Begin by cutting and chopping the ice cream and sherbet together.

  3. As the mixture softens more it will become easier to stir and blend.

  4. Keep mixing until the mixture is smooth and creamy and the sherbet is mixed in well with the vanilla ice cream.

  5. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add the frozen strawberries. Pulse the frozen strawberries until they are about the size of a pea. 

  6. Fold into the ice cream mixture.

  7. Add the frozen raspberries to the same bowl of the food processor and pulse only a few times to break them apart.

  8. Mix into the ice cream mixture with the strawberries and mix until well combined.

  9. Transfer to a freezer container.  Cover and freeze until ready to use.

Recipe Notes

  • For a smaller batch of ice cream, simply mix equal parts of vanilla ice cream and raspberry sherbet.
  • Have trouble finding raspberry sherbet?  Use raspberry sorbet.  
  • Use the best quality vanilla ice cream you can find/afford. 
  • Create your own flavor by mixing vanilla ice cream with other flavored sherbet or sorbet.  
  • Ice cream can be stored in smaller quart or pint containers or cardboard ice cream cartons.
  • Add a bow and a tag for a delicious gift. 
  • If you're looking for a dairy-free option, just use equal amounts of dairy-free ice cream and sorbet.   I personally like a coconut-based ice cream blended with mango sorbet.  Heavenly!
  • If you don't like chunks of fruit in your ice cream, swap out the fruit for chocolate chips OR use both!
  • "Homemade" ice cream will keep well in the freezer for up 2 months.
