As a child growing up in the UK I always remember strawberries being a big part of my summer. My Nan lived next door to a man who would grow his own vegetables and fruits. Every year he would have a bountiful supply of strawberries. He was a very generous man who would always give a batch to my nan. We would have these as a treat after our lunch or dinner. My nan would serve them with sugar and cream.
Nan was a good cook but she didn’t enjoy it as much as she did being in the garden. Therefore she would always eat the strawberries in the same way. As much as I love strawberries and cream I also enjoy a change too. During the summer my son Ted tends to love an ice cream or two. I thought I would ask him if he wanted try strawberries ice cream with white chocolate chips. He didn’t argue. The result were amazing and it’s definitely one you can make on a warm summers day too. It made a delicious change to strawberries and cream.
Have you eaten your strawberries in a different way this year, if so, how? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe.

Strawberry and White Choc Chip Ice Cream was, of course, a huge hit with us in this house. It’s a great dish to make and store in the freezer for up to six weeks. That’s if it lasts that long though. We ate this desert for our Saturday night after dinner treat in front of the TV. The ice cream is delicious as a mid morning or afternoon treat but it’s also good as a lunch or dinner pudding too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
