Hellllllloooo Friday. What took you so long to get here? I’m incredibly excited to start my weekend because I have plans for tonight. Great plans. Plans to sit down with my husband and some wine and ice cream. Err, some wine ice cream. Wine, and ice cream. Together. <3 Tasty, creamy, vanilla ice cream flavored with fresh blackberries and infused with the greatest of all wines–Moscato. I have a pretty small range of wines I enjoy drinking. For me it’s go sweet and fruity or go home. I do not like dry wines (and I kinda think you have to in order to be considered a true wine aficionado) but I love Moscato and I have a cabinet full of fruit flavored wines (mango, peach, blackberry, you name it).
Zach and I recently found a blackberry wine from a local vineyard that we LOVE, and the saleswoman recommended that we pour a little bit of it over ice cream. The saleswoman was clearly a genius and a woman after my own palate, and she got me to thinking about pairing ice cream and wines. Then I decided to step things up a notch by combining wine and cream and making ice cream out of wine. And fruit of course (like I said, sweet and fruity or go home). This Moscato Blackberry Vanilla Ice Cream is so beautifully simple and refreshing. It’s a blend of the best flavors of sweet summertime in a smooth, creamy ice cream. You need this in your Friday night… now.
Oh, and in case you need a little more incentive to make this ice cream, you should know that May 9th is National Moscato Day. That’s 8 days from now. Now you have wine ice cream plans. You’re welcome 😉
