raspberry-mint ice cream

Last night archinonlive and I decided to make a raspberry mint ice cream. Unlike some of our other batches of ice cream, this one isn't heavy on the cream/milk, but was rather heavy on the berries.

( The recipe )

Before it froze I thought that the mix smelled strongly of peppermint with a hint of raspberry, and he thought it smelled strongly of raspberry with a hint of mint, so perhaps the balance is correct. As with all of our ice cream recipes the level of sweetness is quite good--not sweet tasting, but just right. I find the flavour interesting--there is a definite mint after taste, but the raspberries are the dominate first flavour. I am not certain if it is the mint that makes it seem "lighter" than our usual mixes, or just the fact that this one really does contain less milk and thus less fats.
