Grilled Apricot Ice Cream

July is National Ice Cream Month! I think it’s the bee’s knees! Who doesn’t love ice cream in the summer heat? It’s great for after summer camp and play dates at the park. We also love to stop by a little soft serve place near our local pool and enjoy a snack before driving home. My daughter loves it when we have dessert first and go backwards!

In my last post, I grilled up some apricots and enjoyed those off the grill.

I didn’t eat all of them: the intention was to have enough to make the ice cream. I had more than enough, and the results were amazing! I also wanted to try something new so I was poking around other ice cream recipes and saw that some were using Crème fraîche in place of cream. This would give a little more tang to the flavor and I liked it.

I also wanted to play with some more flavors, so I used brown sugar and honey instead of white sugar to sweeten it.

I think I did a great job!

If you wanted to use a different fruit, I’m sure that this recipe would work for most of them. If you would add caramel or serve it with yogurt, the flavor combo will be fine. Grilled Peaches – heck yes! Grilled Pineapple – oh yeah! Roasted blueberries (cause I don’t know how to grill them, exactly) – sign me up!

I hope that you are staying cool this summer. That is unless you’re living in the southern hemisphere… If so, then stay warm and bundle up while you enjoy your ice cream 🙂
