NO-CHURN ALMOND AND RASPBERRY SWIRL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring raspberries, sugar, and ¼ tsp. salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until raspberries begin to burst and lose their shape, about 4 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass, pressing on solids; discard solids. Pour back into saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, 10-15 minutes. (You should have about 6 Tbsp.) Transfer back to measuring glass and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Mix condensed milk, almond extract, and remaining ¾ tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine.
• Using an electric mixer, beat cream in a medium bowl, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high as it thickens, until billowy and stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream to condensed milk mixture and mix in with a rubber spatula (this is just to lighten it so that the next stage-folding-is easier). Add remaining whipped cream; fold in, running spatula down sides and along bottom of bowl, then lifting up through center and over top while rotating bowl to integrate without deflating, until very few streaks of condensed milk mixture remain.
• Scrape about one third of ice cream base into a loaf pan that's at least 8½x4½". Drizzle over one third of raspberry syrup. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with raspberry syrup (no need to be precise). Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, make figure-eight motions through ice cream base to swirl raspberry syrup throughout. Cover with plastic wrap or an airtight silicone lid and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To serve, transfer loaf pan to refrigerator and let ice cream soften 10 minutes before scooping into bowls.
• Do Ahead: Ice cream can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.

NO CHURN LEMON ICE CREAM WITH RASPBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• Add the raspberries, sugar and 1 teaspoon of water to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low. Use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly break up the raspberries. Cook, stirring regularly, until the raspberries have completely broken up and are saucy, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain mixture over a bowl slightly pressing the pulp to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp and seeds. Cool liquid completely.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest and lemon juice to a large bowl and stir to combine. In a separate large bowl add the heavy cream and whip with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. In batches, delicately fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture, making sure it's fully incorporated before adding another batch.
• Pour half of the whipped cream mixture into a 9-by-5 loaf pan and spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the raspberry sauce over the top. Using a wooden skewer or a chop stick, swirl and slightly stir the raspberry sauce into the whipped cream mixture. Top with the remaining whipped cream mixture and spoon another tablespoon of raspberry sauce on top. Once again, swirl the sauce into the whipped cream mixture. Loosely cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Freeze until solid, 6 to 8 hours, preferably overnight. Scoop into bowls and serve.

RASPBERRY SWIRL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• To make the ice cream, warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Pour the cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream. Add the vanilla and stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
• An hour or so before churning the ice cream, make the raspberry swirl by mashing the raspberries together with the sugar and vodka with a fork (if using frozen raspberries, let them thaw a bit first) until they're juicy but with nice-sized chunks of raspberries remaining. Chill until ready to use.
• Freeze the ice cream custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. As you remove it from the machine, layer it in the container with spoonfuls of the chilled raspberry swirl mixture.
• To make Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream, substitute blackberries for the raspberries and add 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture.
• Sandwich Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream between Oatmeal Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies (page 226) or Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies (page 223).
