Say What?!  Yep, you read that right and, no, this is not the product of an Iron Chef challenge.  Basil ice cream has been around for a while and is surprisingly refreshing and tasty.  If you’ve got an ice cream machine then this will be a breeze for you.  Click here for the recipe.

I put more than the recommended basil in my batch and it came out really, really flavorful.  I’d probably like a little subtler flavor the next time around.  The directions call for you to blend the basil and milk, which I was sure would not be possible to do well without some sort of fantastic blender, but my boring old machine ground it up perfectly. When you’re done, you end up with a really lovely colored ice cream.  Pair it with some fresh berries, an almond cookie basket, and perhaps some dark chocolate shavings and you have a fabulous and unique dessert.
