Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the blackberries, 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the liquid thickens into a syrupy consistency.
  3. Use a blender to puree the mixture until smooth, then press it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds and let cool completely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, 3/4 cup (150g) sugar, and salt until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in the cooled blackberry reduction until the base is a uniform, pale purple color.
