Question

It's really hot over here. I have vanilla ice cream, rasberries and blackberries. Does anyone have a cool recipe?

Answer 1

Serve the berries over the icecream. If you have poundcake or sponge cake add it as a base or cube it like a parfait.
Add some granola to the fruit and ice cream.

Answer 2

You have the makings for a perfect hot weather snack! Here's some things to try with that vanilla ice cream:

1. Mash berries slightly and mix with sugar and a little aged balsamic vinegar (it gets sweeter as it ages and compliments fruit perfectly!)
2. Mix sweetened berries with a little Chambord or Raspberry Liquor for an extra kick.
3. Blend raspberries and blackberries with slightly softened vanilla ice cream and refreeze
4. Blend berries with brown sugar, heat, add a little butter and serve warm over ice cream.
5. Make berry milkshakes or smoothies! Add a little sparkling water to your mix for some added refreshment.

Answer 3

raspberry or blackberry coulis

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 lb fresh raspberries, thawed or 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen raspberries, thawed
ice cream

Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.
Put the raspberies and the sugar syrup in a blender and puree.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds and stir in the ice cream.

Answer 4

Make an ice cream parfait! Get a tall glass and put a scoop of ice cream in the bottom. Put in a layer of raspberries, then a scoop of ice cream, then a layer of blackberries, another scoop of ice cream, and so on! Top with a perfect pair of berries (one of each) and a lovely mint leaf. Have a wonderful day! =)

Answer 5

Just mash the berries slightly with a bit of sugar and serve them over the ice cream for great sundaes!

Or throw it all in the blender for an amazing shake.
