Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Sharing is caring!

Summer is here and that means it is time for ice cream! I absolutely love making my own ice cream and this one for Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is it.

Blackberry is one of my all-time favorite fruits. I have made blackberry cobblers, blackberry pies, blackberry lemonade, blackberry smoothies,  and I am experimenting now with Blackberry BBQ sauce.

This fruit is a staple in our house, like ketchup, so we usually never run out. During the peak season, I buy them fresh, but during the offseason, I buy frozen because they are just as good.

How to Make Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

To make this Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, you start by boiling your berries down to make a delicious blackberry syrup.

Using a strainer, you will strain the pulp off so all you are left with is this beautiful purple liquid.

Once you get your blackberries drained, you have to make your egg custard. Now, what you need to understand is that this step cannot and should not be rushed.

When you first start, it is all very liquidy. You are going to keep cooking it until it gets super duper thick. It should be thick enough that when you run your finger down the back of the spoon, you are able to make a trail.

Once both mixtures cool, pour the blackberry sauce into the egg custard mixture and place it in the refrigerator so that it can chill about 3 hours.

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream machine. You will want to let the machine run for about 35 minutes.

Find a level surface and place your old fashioned ice cream maker. I picked up this one on Amazon for less than $40. Using rock salt and ice mixture let your ice cream machine run for 30-40 minutes.

Once the ice cream has been going for about 30 minutes, add in your chocolate chips and turn it back on for another 10 minutes or until it is so thick the machine turns off.

Now you can enjoy the beauty of fresh Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream all year round –even in the wintertime!
