Raspberry Gelato

This raspberry gelato is dead easy and totally addictive. Plus, with only a half cup of cream, it's actually not too bad for you! The gelato is pretty tart, so add more sugar if you want a sweeter dessert; I liked it with a little edge. It does freeze a bit hard, so make sure to take it out of the freezer a few minutes before you plan to serve dessert, or pop the gelato in the microwave for about ten seconds before digging in.

Raspberry Gelato (adapted from My First Kitchen)

10-12 oz. bag of frozen, unsweetened raspberries, fully thawed
1/3 cup sugar, or more to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Place all the ingredients in a blender (or a food processor). Blend until very smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a 2-cup measuring cup, and chill until cold. Freeze in your ice cream maker. Pop the gelato in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up, and then enjoy!

    oh wow yum! I have all those things in my fridge right now... and it would use up the extra cream... I'm very tempted to make gelato instead of studying!

    I just stumbled upon your blog today for the first time after making raspberry gelato...for the first time.

    I did not have the ease of experience you did, but I did reference this post. Please come by when you can!

    @ Rachel - That's a great question...I made this so long ago that I don't really remember, but my guess based on the quantities is that it makes a pint or so.
