Summer Berry Ice Cream Torte
We love an impressionable dessert in this house and all the more, if it happens to be ice cream based. (You haven't heard?? Go join The Whole Scoop ice cream course immediately for literally EVERY combination of ice cream extravagance you can imagine!)
This is ultra pretty for Christmas time and happens to star all the beautiful summer berries, though we used a mix of frozen and fresh frozen. It can be difficult in Australia to source cherries until right on Christmas. So do your best kids. This is impressive. And super easy. Really.
Have you tried any of these other impressive frozen desserts?
