Do you like ice cream? Feel like the only ice cream worth heaving is italian ice cream from the gelateria? You tried numerous home ice cream methods but they go rock solid and by the time you can get the spoon in the stuff is a soggy puddle of liquid again?
Don't despair, I may have a solution for you. This recipe makes creamy ice cream you can make at home.
This version is based on a butter cream with fresh strawberries blended in. I made little ice cream candies in a ice cube mould.
Don't like strawberries in ice cream, try Bulletproof Coffee/ Cocoa ice creams, as mini bite ice-candies or as ice pops.
Don't know why Bulletproof coffee is special and health promoting because it does is processed to give you a low-toxin bean? Get the low down here.
Once the strawberry version was set I decided since many people think chocolate and strawberries are a good fit, i covered a few frozen...
Who doesn't like a strawberry gateaux? I can't get enough of strawberries, I dread the season to finish, when the berries you can get are from far far away and the taste is poor. Why can't we have local strawberries all year round - that would be paradise.
Did you make any strawberry cakes at all? Which one is you summer staple?

This recipe has been my go to for several month now, every time I am traveling or I am am out and about needing a packable snack I make these.
They keep well in the fridge, several days. They don't cause cravings and are just incredibly moist and delicious.
My husband keeps asking for these, when I made them I have to hide the ones I want for another time.

Ferrero Rocher is one of my favourite candies from the past (pre sugar free life), how could it not be - chocolate and nuts yummy.
