Making homemade ice cream doesn't have to be complicated. This no churn blackberry ripple is one of my favorite go to desserts because it comes together in just twenty five minutes without any fancy equipment. The blackberries add a lovely tartness and are packed with antioxidants, making this feel a bit less indulgent. I love how the creamy mascarpone base swirls beautifully with the fruit, and those toasted pistachios on top give you the perfect crunch. Best of all, you probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen already. Give it a try and you'll see why I keep making it again and again.

Instructions
- 1
Toast the pistachios in a dry frying pan for a few minutes, until slightly golden and fragrant (or roast them for 5-6 minutes if you are using the oven for another dish). Set aside to cool, then roughly chop. Meanwhile, put the blackberries in a food processor and whizz until smooth. Put a sieve over a bowl and strain the blackberry purée through it, using a wooden spoon to press as much through as possible; discard the seeds.

In a large bowl, use electric beaters to whisk the condensed milk, double cream, mascarpone and a small pinch of salt until thickened and quite stiff (6-8 minutes). Stir 1 tbsp of this mixture into the blackberry purée. Fold most of the nuts through the cream mixture, reserving a few.

Pour ½ the cream mixture into a 900g loaf tin or freezerproof container and ripple through 1/2 the blackberry mixture. Repeat to use up the remaining cream and blackberry mixtures. Scatter over the reserved pistachios. Cover with a piece of baking parchment or a lid, then freeze for at least 6 hours. Take the ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes before scooping.
