Refreshing Dessert with Ice Cream and Fresh Strawberries

Today's dessert deserves a stand alone post.

What you will need:

Fresh Strawberries--cut off tops and slice lengthwise
Vanilla Ice Cream
Mini Chocolate Chips
Hot Fudge Sauce

I used these ingredients to make two desserts. My favorite was adding sliced strawberries to softened vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with several of the mini chips and stir until the ice cream turns a lovely pink color. The ice cream is given a note of strawberry flavor. Delish!

The other was similar. I put some hot fudge sauce in the bottom of a small bowl and added the soft vanilla ice cream on top and stirred until smooth and liquid. I mixed the rest of the berries into the chocolate cream sauce and ate with a spoon.

Both dishes were special and very refreshing. They even have a few health benefits with the fruit and the protein from the dairy product.
