Strawberry Ice Cream with Guajillo Chile & Lime

July is National Ice Cream month and I have several ice cream recipes to share with you this month. This Strawberry Ice Cream with Guajillo chile and lime is a wonderful treat I discovered over at Homesick Texan.

I wondered about how chile would taste in ice cream. Honestly, you don’t really taste it but the combination makes for a delicious cool treat on a warm summer day. I couldn’t find the powder so I found the dried chiles and ground them up. My niece and nephews tried it not knowing there was chile in it and loved it!

A few weeks ago I was invited by the California Milk Advisory Board to a ice cream social. Danielle from Top Chef Desserts was there and shared some fun ideas for ice cream sundaes. Look for that coupled with a giveaway early next week.

This weekend make some ice cream, sit back and enjoy!
