The blueberry cheesecake ice cream was a tremendous hit. Especially when it was served up in mini cups with a little bit of crust.
I did the same thing this week with my Oreo Cheesecake Ice Cream. Instead of the Graham cracker crust, used left over brownies (you could oreo cookies too) for the base and top off with a scoop of ice cream. And garnish with half a cookie.
I’m bending the rules a little and sharing the recipe.
