Instructions
- Step 1: In a chilled large bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk with 1 tsp vanilla bean paste until smooth.
- Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
- Step 4: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens.
- Step 5: Remove the raspberry sauce from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then let cool completely.
- Step 6: Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then drizzle half of the cooled raspberry sauce over it. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and raspberry sauce, then use a knife to gently swirl the sauce through the ice cream.
- Step 7: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm before scooping and serving.
