3.8 from 7 reviews

This homemade ice cream recipe is a quick and easy treat made from frozen berries and heavy cream. It requires minimal ingredients and equipment, using a food processor or blender to create a smooth, creamy dessert in just minutes. Perfect for a refreshing and customizable ice cream alternative, with the option to sweeten lightly or keep it naturally fruity.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Fruit Base

  • 10 ounces frozen berries (or any other frozen fruit)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (optional)

Cream

  • ⅔ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Place the frozen berries and optional sweetener into a food processor or blender. Pulse or process just until the fruit is roughly chopped to maintain some texture.
  2. Add Cream and Blend: Pour in the heavy cream and continue processing until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated. If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream, and scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure even blending.
  3. Serve or Store: Enjoy the homemade ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer it to a container and freeze for firmer consistency to serve later.

Notes

  • Use any variety of frozen fruit for different flavor profiles.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener according to taste or omit it for a naturally sweet dessert.
  • For softer ice cream, serve immediately after blending.
  • Adding more heavy cream can help achieve a creamier, smoother texture if needed.
  • If freezing for later, allow the ice cream to soften a few minutes at room temperature before scooping.
