Blackberry Pistachio Crunch Sundae is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We are sharing ice cream related recipes today. This is in celebration of National Ice Cream Day.
I decided to make a riff off something I had at a gelato stand recently. Theirs had sort of a blackberry swirl in the gelato with a bit of baklava and pistachio crunch. We loved it. But here’s mine:
And of course here is a pic of the one from Dojo Gelato in Cincinnati. I think it would be good either way with a blackberry sauce or fresh berries.
I used caramel as well so sauce wasn’t needed.
But anyhoo- it goes to show not every special dessert needs to be made with ice cream from scratch. Sometimes it’s the add-ins that make it the star of the show.
