This is why I miss the islands but fortunately the sun has been out a lot here (as opposed to fog, but then there is still June- Aug to look forward to). <br /><br />I wish I had an ice cream maker, so badly.

Natural, spicy and heartwarming all at once. And I love strawberry icecream - nothing like it to say 'Hello Summer'! A few months ago, I made a strawberry-white chocolate icecream which was nice, but the finish was a bit grainy on the tongue - maybe something to do with the cocoa butter in the white chocolate.

I know exactly how you feel! I would have felt the same. In fact when I decided to go abroad for completing my studies I avoided England only because of the climate! This ice cream may not be appropriate for Holland but is sure absolutely necessary for Greece!

I have yet to eat ice cream this year and am not really an ice cream fan in fact but I love the colour and texture of yours - so pretty - and feel inspired to give it a try, although without a machine.

Life in Amsterdam was beautiful, but 200 rainy days per year was a bit more than I was ready to handle long term. But with fruity concoctions like this you're sure to feel lifted! Simple elegance.

I used to make ice cream (with my machine) in the USA and miss it. One of those appliances that I choose not to bring here because of anticipation of lack of kitchen space and lack of hot days.
