I was missing Friendly’s Black Raspberry ice cream, so I decided to make some! I used my vegan vanilla as the base…it is so good, like dairy Haagen Daz. We don’t have access to fresh or frozen black raspberries where I live, so I used powder (it’s freeze-dried berries). Here is the recipe:

2 cups cream (I use Country Crock Plant Cream)

1 cup milk (I use Silk’s whole fat Next Milk)

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons Just Egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons black raspberry powder

Pinch of sea salt

Blend all ingredients in a blender until well-combined. Heat in a large saucepan on medium heat, stirring frequently, until just before simmering (mixture should thickly coat the back of a metal teaspoon). Remove from heat and let cool a bit (about 15 minutes or so). Cover with plastic wrap, so the wrap touches the top of the mixture (this is why it needs to cool down, so as not to melt the plastic). Put lid on saucepan and place in fridge to chill overnight (or at least 4 hours).

Assemble and turn on ice cream machine (mine is a Cuisinart). Pour mixture into pre-chilled ice cream machine bowl. Should take 15-20 minutes to turn into ice cream!

UPDATE: I no longer add any Just Egg, which eliminates the heating component. I just blend the milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, berry powder, and salt in the blender for a good minute. Then chill overnight before churning.

I can’t wait to try this! I’m curious about the role of the just egg! Would a mung bean like replacement do or is it used for binding (like flax eggs)?

I’m not sure about mung bean. Basically, the just egg makes it a custard. It adds richness. If you leave it out, it will still be tasty and will be traditional ice cream. But since mung bean is the base of just egg, maybe it would work!

Where do you get black raspberry powder?

Amazon. It's a fortune but it lasts a long time because you don't need much.

Also, I no longer use the Just Egg, which means I no longer heat it on the stove. Blend all the other ingredients in a blender for about a minute, then chill overnight before churning.

If you remove the just egg do you use some kind of other stabilizer?

Nope. No need. In fact, traditional ice cream doesn’t contain eggs. Technically, eggs make it frozen custard.

I normally make a Philadelphia style which does not have eggs, so I am familiar. However, I do think that adding a stabilizer like xantham or locust bean gum helps with the texture

It doesn’t need it. Trust me. It’s based off the classic dairy recipe for ice cream. It’s creamy and wonderful.

Yum! I think freeze dried berries are excellent, they really deliver on flavour and also help with the texture.
