It’s almost that time. There might be a few left in the field or some delicately overripe pints at the market. We anticipate their arrival and we mourn their departure–strawberries. They are the sure sign that spring is officially here. As we prepare to say farewell to this sweet little berry, I wanted to share a fantastic no-cook strawberry ice cream recipe I discovered recently. This recipe most certainly can be adapted to other fruits as the seasons progress, and it makes a creamy, delicious dessert with little effort.
If you were prepared enough to freeze some strawberries, remember that you can make this recipe later with those. I added a little vanilla extract to this recipe, and I am sure there are other fun flavors that would lend to even more complexity and creativity. Here are a few thoughts:
- Add some mini-chocolate chips for a “chocolate covered strawberry” dessert
- Mascarpone cheese mixed in with the cream would add a lovely decadence
- Don’t forget the booze! Add in your favorite liqueur for a fun twist (Gran Marnier, Chambord, Cointreau, etc.)
