Reviews
I used frozen blackberries and strawberry from Walmart in the cheap frozen fruit section and just picked out the strawberrys. Came out wonderful and nice and soft. Lemon zest really brings the fruit to life. Would definitely recommend!
I added some powdered cloves and extra lemon zest. It was excellent!
This recipe was in the June 2021 issue of the magazine and was updated to include three different types of berries — blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I made this recipe and it was outstanding! It was easy to make and the lemon zest really brought out the flavors of the berries. I highly recommend it!
Made with fresh picked blackberries and it was perfect. Perfect consistency.
I made it with a fresh berries and it was the best ice cream I’ve made. I’ve made all kinds of different ice cream‘s but this was the smoothest and the best tasting berry. I’ve ever had.
