2. Prepare the Raspberry Ripple:
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and raspberry jam. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the raspberry mixture thickens slightly. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature before using.
3. Churn the Ice Cream:
Pour your prepared ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the model of your ice cream maker.
4. Add the Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate:
Once your ice cream reaches soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a container. Drizzle the cooled raspberry ripple mixture over the ice cream in layers, then gently swirl the mixture with a spoon to create the signature “ripple” effect. Sprinkle the white chocolate shavings throughout the ice cream and swirl them in lightly, adding bursts of sweetness and texture.
5. Freeze and Enjoy:
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm and scoopable. The longer you freeze it, the firmer the texture will become, making it perfect for serving.
6. Serve:
Once the ice cream is set and firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy the romantic, creamy treat you’ve created! The raspberry ripple offers a refreshing burst of fruity goodness, while the white chocolate shavings provide a decadent touch to every bite.
