Refresh your summer afternoons with a delicious berry and nut ice cream!
What better way to spend your summer days off than enjoying a refreshing ice cream with your children? Making ice cream at home is also a great way to bond with your family in the kitchen and create memories that will last a lifetime.
To make this delicious berry and nut ice cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of crushed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios)
Start by washing and drying the berries carefully, then cut them into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix well so that the sugar dissolves. Let it macerate for at least an hour so that the berries release their juices.
In a saucepan, mix the milk and heavy cream and heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Add the milk and cream mixture to the berries and mix well. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix again.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. When it’s ready, add the crushed nuts and mix well.
If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to enjoy your berry and nut ice cream, try making homemade waffle cups! To make them, simply prepare your favorite waffle batter and pour it into a waffle cone maker. Once they’re done, shape them into cups using a muffin tin and let them cool. Then, scoop your dessert into the cups and serve them with some fresh berries on top. Not only are they delicious, but they also add a fun and playful touch to your dessert.
For an extra special treat, try making a homemade fruit sauce to accompany your dessert. Simply simmer your favorite fruit (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) with some sugar and water until it thickens. Let it cool and pour it over your ice cream for a burst of fruity flavor. You can also experiment with different flavors and combinations to find the perfect match for your ice cream.
No matter how you choose to serve your berry and nut ice cream, it’s sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So why not try making it at home and create some sweet memories together?
