Crushed berries and ice cream

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:

1 cup strawberries
160g
1 cup raspberries
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g

Instructions:

1. Preparation of Berries:
- 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.
2. Crushing the Berries:
- 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.
3. Mixing:
- 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.
4. Resting:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.
6. Enjoy:
- 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. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you can have a refreshing, delicious treat in no time. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
