This doctored-up ice cream takes plain old vanilla to a whole new level with fresh blackberries, lemon and jam. But you could give any ice cream flavor a makeover, mixing it with dried fruit, nuts or candies.

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh blackberries

1 lemon, zested and juiced

3 tablespoons blackberry jam

2 pints vanilla ice cream, softened

3 graham crackers, crushed into small pieces

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the blackberries, lemon zest, lemon juice and blackberry jam. Using a fork, smash the blackberries and mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add the vanilla ice cream to a large bowl. Using the back of a spoon, mash the ice cream until smooth. Fold in the graham crackers, reserving 1 tablespoon, until well combined. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the blackberry mixture. Fold a few times to achieve a swirling pattern, making sure not to overmix.
  3. Add to a loaf pan, garnishing the top with the remaining crushed graham crackers and reserved blackberry mixture. Cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
  4. Scoop and serve.
