Crushed berries and ice cream is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of ripe strawberries and raspberries with the creamy richness of your favorite ice cream. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for a hot summer day or as a sweet ending to any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the strawberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold running water.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy tops and any stems. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size.
- Place the prepared strawberries and raspberries in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the berries.
- Add the lemon juice to the bowl.
- Use a fork or potato masher to gently crush the berries. Aim to mash them enough to release their juices and create a chunky texture, but avoid making a smooth puree. The goal is to have a mix of crushed berries and whole pieces.
- Let the crushed berry mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes. This resting time allows the sugar to dissolve completely and the flavors to meld together.
- Scoop your desired amount of vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or glasses.
- Spoon the crushed berry mixture generously over the top of the ice cream.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a few whole berries for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing crushed berries and ice cream dessert!
Tips:
- Ensure your berries are fresh and ripe for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sugar amount according to your taste preference and the sweetness of the berries.
- For added texture, lightly crush the berries, keeping some larger chunks.
- If you have time, let the berries macerate with the sugar and lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
- Serve the crushed berries immediately after making to keep them fresh and vibrant.
- Try different ice cream flavors like vanilla, strawberry, or even chocolate for a twist.
Crushed berries and ice cream is an effortless yet impressive dessert that brings out the natural sweetness of fresh berries.
