Always delicious and always so right for the season. I love utilizing fresh seasonal berries when the shops fade fast and far and recapturing that great flavour later on when it’s all but disappeared from the shelves.
Bravo!

So refreshing and so satisfying! As much as I love rich chocolate ice creams, berry ice cream is always seems lighter and the bright flavors make me long for summer.

I see you are making a great use of your ice cream maker this summer! This is my kind of ice cream – I love berries! I haven’t put back the ice cream bowl in freezer yet…but as soon as it gets warm… I’m going to gain weight from eating ice cream! >_<

Isn’t it great to have good berries in the freezer? I drug out some blackberries for a cobbler last week, which was great for what was still a wintery evening here. That ice cream looks delicious.

I so regret not having an ice cream maker when I see a lovely bowl of ice cream like yours.
Oh, I love any treat made with mixed berries! This ice cream looks delicious and is such a pretty color, or should I say “colors”. What a great use of those frozen berries. I’m working on cleaning out my freezer now as well, getting ready for next season. Hopefully, the fruits will be as plentiful as they were last year. Hope you’re having a great weekend.
