Raspberry ice cream typically features a creamy base of dairy cream, sugar, and eggs. To this rich base, raspberry puree is typically added to give raspberry ice cream its rich, fruity flavor. Many also add raspberry syrup, to heighten the sweet berry taste. The alluring pink hues of raspberry ice cream come from the puree’s intense color. Fruity and bright, raspberry ice cream is certainly a visual treat.
Raspberry ice cream is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a range of other flavors. Many choose to top it with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, marshmallows, or crushed nuts to take the flavor to the next level.
