Step 5

5. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.

Step 6

6. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 7

7. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 8

8. Serve the blackberry ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
