Waffles with Fruity Berry Ice Cream

If someone tells you to only have ice cream for dessert, after a bad day, or just before bed. Then you need to send them to my house where any time is a good time for a heaping bowl of creamy goodness. Even breakfast is no exception.
Ever since I got a new ice cream maker for Christmas, I have been researching and testing several variations of ice cream recipes. This recipe was inspired by all the bloggers out there that posted sour cream based ice cream recipes a few months back. Then one day, I saw that Kevin from Closet Cooking successfully incorporated maple syrup into his Blueberry Maple Pecan Frozen Yogurt recipe. I was instantly inspired to make my brunch even more special.
Fruity Berry Ice Cream
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
¼ cup orange juice
¾ cup half and half
¾ cup sour cream
2 bananas, roughly chunkedAdd the blueberries, strawberries, sugar, and orange juice to a small sauce pan. Heat the berry mixture over medium heat for about 45 seconds while stirring constantly. The sugar should be dissolved and the berries just softened, but still slightly frozen.
Pour the berry mixture and bananas into a food processor. Pulse about 10 times until completely combined. Add the half and half, and sour cream to the food processor. Pulse for an additional 10 times creating a frothy purple sauce.
Transfer the ice cream sauce from the food processor to the ice cream machine. Churn as directed by your machines instructed. Mine requires about 30 minutes of churning for the right consistency. Transfer from the ice cream machine to a freezer safe bowl. Freeze for at least 2 hours until completely hardened. Makes about 1 quart.
Authors Note: I used a basic waffle mix and real maple syrup for the breakfast portion of my brunch.

Melting ice cream on warm waffles with maple syrup does sound really good!!

Surely the person that gave you the dieter’s cook book isn’t the same one that gave you an ice cream maker!?

The ice cream looks and sounds fantastic, Cory! I love adding sour cream to the berry ice cream; perfect pairing!
This looks delicious! Cool and creamy. It sounds great waffles!
Ice cream for breakfast is a good way to go! Maybe we can roll granola in it just to say we were being healthy.
MMM…berry ice cream, sounds delicious!!I saw somewhere a similar recipe with mascarpone instead of sour cream.
First of all, awesome present! I was so excited to find my ice cream maker at the thrift store for $3.00 that I couldn’t wait to start experimenting
