Blackberry Ice Cream

Submitted by ktdid

"Started with Dee514's Cinnamon Ice Cream (#67382) and grew from there. Has gorgeous deep lavender color and rich blackberry flavor. A hint of rich cinnamon (I use Penzey's Vietnamese Cinnamon) adds an exotic depth to it. Uses electric ice cream maker. Prep time doesn't include chilling base. Cook time is freezing time."

made a non-dairy version of this tonight. it is incredible. subbed 1 C almond milk and 1 1/2 cups regular coconut milk, and it is one of the most delicious things ever. the flavor is so complex, tart and warm and dense. excellent stuff. super rich. thanks for sharing.

Made this ice cream from the black berries in our garden, like another reviewer I used all heavy cream and added just a few chunks of berry when about half done, oh my!!! This was so creamy and flavorful, with none of those tiny seeds blackberries are so full of. Served on top of a home made brownie with whipped cream. Made for a special and impressive desert. This will be a keeper for sure

I made this but I used all heavy whipping cream. It was amazing. Nice and creamy and a beautiful color. Will definitely make it again Sandy

I have made a couple different ice cream recipes, but none taste quite like this one. I've tried it different times adding lemon or cinnamon, as well as exchanging blackberries for strawberries, leaving them unstrained and a little chunky. This is my go to recipe for any fruit ice cream!

What a terrific ice cream . It was lovely, it had so much flavor and was rich and creamy. A lovely purple color. I needed a black raspberry ice cream for a strawberry smoothie that I wanted to make and choose your lovely recipe to use. It worked beautifully. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will again.
