I made this batch of ice-cream sometimes in late October, when strawberries were abundance and at a bargain ... yeah... I know I am getting slow in posting lately... I blamed it on my lack of discipline...
When asked 'What are you going to do with all these strawberries...?' I went 'errmmm...'
I had over 6 kgs of strawberries... shocking!!!
many lovely dishes crossed my mind... but ice-cream ... yum... who can resist ice-cream?
So I gathered all the ingredients needed to churn some delicious scrumptious ice-cream... kiddos and H, knew I was making strawberry ice-cream..and that was that..
Ice-cream all set .... scooped into individual ice-cream bowls and ready to be served...
H took his first spoonful ...
"H ~.. Its not only 'strawberry' ice-cream, isn't it?...something else was added... but I can't put my finger to the taste... familiar but...
Me~ keep on tasting... and guessing..."
...and after tasting few more spoonful...well...nearly half of ice-cream dissappeared, he was still clueless 
Then D walked in... tasted and had that same look and question as his dad...
" D~ ....dont tell me.... I want to guess "smiling to myself....feeling 'victorious'...hehehe... they aren't going to get it right...
Last... to waltz into the scene ~ my 'Pwincess...'
"E~ ooh yummo... Ice-cream!!! "
after the first taste...
"E~ nice... yummm... strawberry and BASIL..."
....because "Girls are made of sugar and spice and everything that is nice...", she knew exactly what was in the ice-cream.... hehehe... do better next time BOYS!!!

Deleteyour daughter must've inherited your palate ^^ strawberry ice-cream any time, any day is always a good idea ^^ best yet if it's homemade!
ReplyDelete...she is as kaypoh as her mom ;P hehehe..
DeleteStrawberry and basil - what a refreshing combination!
ReplyDeleteinteresting combination too :D
DeleteLovely combination! 6 kgs of strawberries! That's really alot!
ReplyDeleteOne of those 'mad' moments I had ;P
DeleteI love strawberries and basil together. And in ice cream it must be the best combo! My mouth is watering.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteWhat a clever combination ! and a clever daughter ! Distinguished palate in training ;-)
ReplyDelete... picky eater that she is ;P
DeleteLooks really good!! I will not hesitate to help myself! :)
ReplyDeleteplease do... ;D
DeleteInteresting combo, I am trying to imagine the taste... Basil probably ads some freshness to it. We use mint in ice cream and lemonades all the time, Why not basil? I should try this during the ice cream season (I can't eat ice cream in winter - does not feel right). And the photos are so happy and gorgeous! And good job for your daughter, no wonder she an exquisite palate with mommie being such a wonderful cook :-)
ReplyDeletewow 6kg of strawberries is A LOT of strawberries! but love how you combined it together with basil in an icecream! I love it on tarts so i can definitely imagine how delicious it is blended together in a cool treat!
ReplyDeleteWow!! What a fantastic combination!! Can't wait till I get back to Europe - and fresh strawberries are in abundance!! Looks soooo delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!!
