Strawberry Mint Ice Cream

There was a point in my life when I believed a gourmet ice cream truck was what I needed to do my life. I had my dad’s best friend ready to buy me a truck, I spent a few hours lining up what my menu would include (mint basil, apple pie, lemon blueberry in case you were wondering), and was ready to get rolling. Obviously, being the ripe old age of 19 years old and in the middle of getting a bachelor’s degree, that never did happen. Maybe someday though.

My biggest flaw (as some call it) is that I have a hard time making recipes that are not either chocolatey or completely over the top. My mom is constantly pushing me to try ‘refreshing summer flavors’ and so this is what I came up with. I love this recipe for a quick bite after dinner to satisfy my sweet craving but my family enjoyed it in large portions with funfetti cake over the 4th of July weekend! Best of both worlds?

All in all, I think this recipe perfectly nails the ‘refreshing summer treat’ right on the head. If you’re not a fan of overly chocolate desserts, try whipping this recipe up for your next get together or weekend in. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
