Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your ice cream maker by ensuring the bowl is thoroughly frozen for at least 24 hours.
  2. Cook the blackberry syrup by combining fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the seeds. Let the syrup cool in the refrigerator.
  4. In another bowl, mix fresh blackberries with sugar and let sit for 15 minutes to release juices.
  5. Blend the blackberry mixture until smooth and strain it again. Combine with heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk until incorporated.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared ice cream maker and churn for 20 to 30 minutes until thick and creamy.
  7. Layer the churned ice cream with cooled blackberry syrup in a freezer-safe container, swirl gently, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
