Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 large egg yolks
• 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not let it boil.
2. While the cream and milk mixture is heating, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks in a separate mixing bowl until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the heated cream and milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, cover the saucepan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill completely.
7. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
8. In the last few minutes of churning, add the fresh raspberries and continue churning until they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
9. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to allow it to fully firm up.
10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
