During the summer months I enjoy making a variety of different flavoured ice creams. Strawberry has always been a favourite of mine. I loved strawberry ice cream when I was a kid. Nowadays when I make homemade ice cream I like to make it with fresh fruit. It makes a tasty alternative to shop brought ice cream. Plus this roasted strawberries ice cream is so much better than the ice cream I ate as a kid. We love it and we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream was a delicious dessert. It was easy to prepare and make in the blender. Plus it was a great way to use up the leftover roasted strawberries. In my last video I roasted strawberries and I had a few leftover. Therefore I decided to make them into ice cream. However you decide to eat this dessert, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
