  • This is a go-to recipe for me every summer. The berries and ice-cream are a no brainer together, but the basil adds a nice depth. The real surprise for me was how the olive oil and black pepper work so beautifully to tie everything together. Of course many guests will question your use of black pepper and ice-cream, but not after they've tasted it.
