If using fresh blackberries, rinse them thoroughly and pat dry.
Place the blackberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Use a spatula to press the puree through the sieve, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds.
Step 2: Prepare the Ice Cream Base

Add the blackberry puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the coconut mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Step 3: Chilling the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
