Variations

• Sherbet: Not a fan of pineapple? Feel free to use another variety of sherbet such as lime, orange, or raspberry sherbet for even more raspberry flavor. 
• Berries: This frozen treat is delicious with raspberries, but we love using mixed berries too! Feel free to use your favorite berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries. 
• Add-ins: Mix in some chocolate or white chocolate chips for a fun twist. 
• Dairy-Free or Vegan: If you’re allergic to dairy, lactose intolerant, or vegan, use your favorite non-dairy store-bought sorbet in place of the sherbet to make a raspberry sorbet instead. 

How to Make Raspberry Ice Cream

To get started, remove the pineapple sherbet and frozen berries from the freezer.

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients: Allow the sherbet to soften and frozen berries to thaw at room temperature. Combine everything in a bowl.

Step 2: Smash the berries. Once thawed, smash the berries into small chunks.

Step 3: Mix the berries and sherbet. Mix the smashed berries and softened sherbet together in a large bowl.

Step 4: Refreeze. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe airtight container and refreeze.

Expert Tips

• Thawing the berries: To make it easier to smash the berries, allow them to almost thaw completely.

• Storing: Store the raspberry ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.
