So.. who likes ice cream? I am intrigued by the flavor
of basil in things where it would not normally belong. This is really
good – it belongs.
This had a great texture, and did not have a ‘heavy’ feel to it. The family
loved it. I would change one thing by adding the basil to the strawberries when
I put them in the food processor. I also did NOT strain mixture through a
strainer.
