In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Let the raspberry puree cool completely.

In a separate medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

Prepare the Egg Yolks:

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale and slightly thickened.

Gradually pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Slowly pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Stir the cooled raspberry puree into the custard mixture until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.

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

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Serve:

Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones.
