A few months ago I found a delicious sounding recipe for raw ice cream. This was probably back in July when it was scorching hot. None the less, this week after busting out my winter coat I was itching for a taste of summer again.
Sadly I couldn’t find the recipe anywhere, so I attempted to recreate it by memory. The results were pretty spectacular! The perfect blend of creamy sweetness and tasted way better then the processed junk available. Great for next summer or this Friday night!
