Method
 

Prepare the Mulberry Compote
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of fresh mulberries, ½ cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir gently while simmering for about 5 to 6 minutes until it thickens and the mulberries soften.
  2. Remove from heat, let cool, then refrigerate.
Make the Ice Cream Base
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of half and half, ¾ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until dissolved.
  2. Gradually stir in 2 cups of heavy cream until well combined and smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Churn the Ice Cream
  1. Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn for about 15 to 20 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
  2. With the machine running, gently add the cooled mulberry compote to create a marbled effect.
Freeze the Ice Cream
  1. Transfer the churned ice cream to a loaf pan, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
  2. Freeze for at least 12 hours until firm.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Remove from freezer and let sit for a few minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh berries or chocolate sauce.
