Summer is all about light and refreshing. Ice cream is a great summer treat. I remember my father would have a bowl of ice cream every night when i was growing up.

Looking through some of my cookbooks I was inspired to try Dark Chocolate Ice Cream. It was rich and delicious. My two little tasters, Livi and Chase loved it.
Top it with berries and you have the perfect end to a meal.
