M- Mixed Berry Pie Ice Cream
I'm not much of a baker. If brownies/cakes/cupcakes come in a box- I'm good, but homemade complicated pastries generally leave me somewhat confused and feeling inadequate in my kitchen. However, I can hold my own with a pie. I love making fruit pies and having fun with different fillings. A few summers ago, I made a Mixed Berry Pie which consisted of blueberries, black berries, and raspberries all mixed together, and of course a crumb topping. I used my grandmother's pie plate and well, it was so good, I had some for breakfast the next day too.
So, I got to wondering, could I make a Mixed Berry Pie Ice Cream? I really didn't see why not, and now that berries are (almost) in season, I was able to pick and choose my favorites. My favorite part of a pie is the crumb topping, and I was hoping that sugar cookie pieces covered in cinnamon sugar would hold up to freezing and resemble the crumb topping. As far as the crust goes- there was just no go way to put that in ice cream, so I left it out.
As I compile recipes, I'll include the full recipe but, for the sake of simplicity and the fact that this post is already late for M day, this ice cream is a simple combination of Mixed Berry Ice Cream with cinnamon sugar covered pieces of sugar cookie dough. What does it taste like? Pie with ice cream. Yum!
Oh gosh, that looks so yummy! :)

Tracy, what if you put the pie crust on top as a garnish. I LOVE crust, so that might work. This sounds too delightful. I'll be trying it out.
