    Add the blackberry mixture and gently fold everything together. 

    The mixture has been added to a loaf pan and is ready for freezing.

    Add to a freezer-safe container and freeze!

    Substitutions

    • Blackberries: If blackberries are out of season or unavailable, feel free to substitute them with other berries like raspberries or blueberries.
    • Mascarpone Cheese: Cream cheese can be used as a substitute for the mascarpone if needed, although it will result in a tangier flavor.

    Tips:

    • If you aren't a fan of seeds; you can smooth the blackberry puree by using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or chunks.
    • For an enhanced flavor, you can add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blackberry puree.
    • Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips or crushed cookies for added texture and indulgence.
    • Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.

    About Pate

    Hi! I'm Pate, the blogger, recipe developer, and photographer behind The G&M Kitchen!

    Raised in the heart of Kentucky, I come from a long line of passionate cooks and bakers. The kitchen was always the heart of our home, where we transformed vegetables into delightful dishes and crafted pies and cakes that emerged from the oven. This tradition of coming together through food and cooking inspired the name of my blog, The G&M Kitchen – 'G' for my father's family, the Giltners, and 'M' for my mother's family, the Millers.

    I also believe if a recipe is missing something, it's probably bourbon.
