Ingredients

  • Boysenberries – You can use fresh, frozen, or tinned boysenberries for this recipe. Simply drain the syrup of the tinned fruit. You can use fresh or frozen boysenberries straight away.
  • Condensed milk – Sweetened condensed milk provides sweetness, creaminess, and a smooth texture.

How to make boysenberry ice cream

  1. Prepare the fresh, tinned, or frozen boysenberries.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until you have a smooth and vibrant mixture.
  3. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-proof tin or container and freeze it for 8 hours or until fully set.

Tips

  • Chill the ingredients: Ensure that both the sweetened condensed milk and the milk are properly chilled before mixing. Cold ingredients help achieve a smoother consistency in the final ice cream.
  • Blend well: Blend the sweetened condensed milk thoroughly to add air and create a light base for your ice cream.
  • Mix gently: When incorporating the milk into the sweetened condensed milk, blend gently to avoid losing airiness and to maintain a creamy texture.

Serving

This berrylicious ice cream can be enjoyed on its own in a bowl or cone or used as a delicious topping for desserts like chocolate cake, pancakes, or waffles.
