From now until the end of time I will argue that Strawberries and Chocolate are two things that go perfectly together. They are seriously one of the best (and one of the most popular) flavor combinations!
Just think about it. Chocolate covered strawberries are everywhere especially around holidays), hot fudge sundaes with strawberries are a normal request (believe me, I worked in an ice cream shop) and chocolate cupcakes with strawberry icing…well those things are just heavenly!
Chocolate covered strawberries were probably one of the first desserts I ever made. Super easy and everyone loves them (unless you’re my husband and don’t like strawberries). *He’s an Odd Ball*
Heaven knows I love chocolate ice cream and I couldn’t think of a better flavor to mix with it! Strawberries in homemade Chocolate Ice Cream?? Yes please!!! But oh and these aren’t just regular ol’ strawberries.
I roasted those beauties! Oh my heavens, if you haven’t roasted strawberries before you need to take a moment and go do that… like now! My whole house smells amazing right now! I wish that you could smell this sweet strawberry fragrance wafting throughout the rooms of my home! I’m ready to dig in!
Roasted Strawberries paired with Silk Chocolate Almondmilk is by far the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had!
My niece is here today and I’m so excited to share this ice cream with her! She loves strawberries just as much as I do!
And well I think that smile speaks for itself! She loved it and gave it two thumbs up!
I always say that Ice cream is the key to summer. There is no summer without ice cream! So go make some of this ice cream and enjoy your summer!
