BERRY CHIP ICE CREAM

It's been awhile since my last post. Lots of school and work. Luckily there's always a weekend of cooking and relaxing to look forward to. I'd never done a berry flavored base before, so I took this opportunity and a bag of unclaimed mixed berries and created what would become a reliable crowd pleaser.

BERRY CHIP ICE CREAM
:: 2 c ice cream base
:: 16 oz whole frozen mixed berries
:: 3/4 c brown sugar
:: 1/4-1/2 c water
:: 2 oz chopped white chocolate
:: 2 oz shaved dark chocolate

- bring, water, berries, and brown sugar to simmer.
- mash while in saucepan and reduce to thick syrup.
- push berries through sieve to remove seeds.
- chill berry syrup and add to ice cream base before mixing.
- mix in chocolate toward end of freezing.

A bright purple/pink vibe and creamy texture well versed by chocolate. Really smooth and fresh tasting and without too much chocolate. I'll be making more of this (or a variation) soon.
