Equipment:

  • Ice cream maker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish
  • Spatula

Ingredients:

Blackberry Compote:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Cobbler Pieces:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Make the Blackberry Compote:
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Cobbler Pieces:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
    • Spread the dough in a thin layer on a baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool, then break into small pieces.
  3. Make the Ice Cream Base:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream:
    • Pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Assemble the Ice Cream:
    • Gently fold the blackberry compote and cobbler pieces into the churned ice cream. Transfer the mixture to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, roast the blackberries in the oven with a bit of sugar before making the compote.
  • Use fresh, seasonal blackberries for the best flavor.

Southern Blackberry Cobbler Ice Cream is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the best of a classic blackberry cobbler with creamy homemade ice cream. Perfect for summer or any time you crave a taste of the South, this ice cream is sure to impress.
