Easy Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream - No Churn

In this day and age when minimalism and de-cluttering is in, a recipe that doesn't call for a chunky appliance like an ice cream maker is always a winner.

This creamy, no churn blackberry ripple ice cream uses stiffly whipped cream and condensed milk which together create a wonderfully creamy and smooth texture.

Blackberry Foraging for Homemade Blackberry Swirl Ice cream

In late summer I love to go foraging for blackberries. They are definitely a pest plant, they're invasive, painful and very hard to get rid of.

That being said, the abundance of tart berries is something I welcome with open arms considering my own berry bushes don't produce very much.

Easy Blackberry Sauce

To make the blackberry sauce, break up the berries in a food processor or with a fork and then push all the berries through a strainer until what is left is deep red sauce.

Add this sauce to a saucepan with a tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of cornflour to thicken. Whisk it together, then bring it to a simmer and cook it until slightly thickened. Leave it to cool down in the refrigerator.

No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Base

The no-churn vanilla ice cream base is very simple. It's made up of pouring cream, vanilla extract or paste and condensed milk

Whip the cream along with the vanilla until very stiff peaks form.

Fold in a can of condensed milk.

Now, add in half of the cream mixture to a parchment paper-lined 8x4inch/21x11cm loaf tin and drizzle over half the blackberry sauce. Swirl it in so it's streaky. Repeat with the remaining cream and sauce.

Freeze the ice cream for at least 7-8 hours before scooping and serving. Enjoy this ice cream on a hot summer's day, or if you've got berries in the freezer you can make it all year round!
