White Chocolate Raspberry Blackberry Homemade Ice Cream


One of my friends recently bought an ice cream maker...and it would be an understatement to say I was really excited! He let me pick the flavor of the batch we made last week, so I chose white chocolate raspberry blackberry.

Ingredients:
1/2 pint of fresh blackberries
1/2 pint of fresh strawberries
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
8oz white chocolate
1 bar milk/dark chocolate

A few hours before we started we chilled the inner container of the ice cream maker, and sprinkled 1/4 cup of sugar over the washed blackberries to sweeten them up. When we were ready to start making the ice cream, we sliced up the strawberries, and added them to the blackberries. Then we mashed them up till the mixture was almost all liquid, like a sauce. In a separate bowl we mixed together the milk, cream, eggs, and remaining sugar, and wisked the mixture for a few minutes. Next we boiled some water, added the white chocolate to a pyrex container, and placed the container into the boiling water to melt the chocolate. We added a little bit of cream to help the melting along. We then wisked the chocolate into the milk/cream mixture, and poured it into the ice cream maker. We added the berry mix to the ice cream maker till the maker was full. We also shaved some milk chocolate chocolate and added that to the mix. Then we turned on the ice cream maker and waited. (Waiting was the hardest part!)
Finally, the ice cream hardened and was ready to eat. We had some left over sliced strawberries and berry sauce to use as toppings.

It was delicious!!!
