I love berry based ice creams. It is creamy dreamy treat. Desserts are always a thing to look forward to. Whether it is a mithai, halwa or a creamy soft serve softy. It gives you a perfect end to the meal. If it is something which is made naturally even better. This is a low fat dessert / ice cream / frozen yogurt since I have used very less yogurt, just enough to make the dessert little creamier. Next I will try with non-dairy option to make this vegan
My favorite one these days is the PB vegan ice cream and mango icecream.

Frozen or fresh?
I love the vibrant colors. Berries are just like bananas. Grab them and eat it fresh when at a farm. I end up eating blueberries on my way home fresh from the local vegetable market. They help me get an instant energy rush without relying on chocolate. They are great for anti-oxidants too. Also, the best anti aging remedy.
Best part about berries is they are full of flavor. Put it on your pavlova, cake or a simple smoothie and enjoy! Eggless blueberry cake works great with coffee and if you want a cold treat the recipe below will just be it.
You may use frozen or fresh strawberries to make this. I love eating them fresh and storing some when they are in season. Storing them in food graded zip lock pouches helps me enjoy my smoothies even when they are not in season.
