My Summer Story

I remember the first time I made this ice cream on a hot afternoon with my cousin. We used fresh strawberries from the backyard and ended up eating straight from the tub while watching the sunset. It’s now become our little summer tradition — messy kitchen, sticky fingers, and all the laughs in between. This recipe brings me right back to those sweet, golden evenings.
