So excited to finally share what I’ve been concocting this week! I’m guest posting over at Baking with Basil, so you’ll have to head on over there to get the full scoop, pun intended. But first—can I tell you that this ice cream tastes absolutely incredible despite what you may be thinking. And the lemon wafer cookie just puts it over the top. Basil. Who would of thought? Thankfully, Brooke had faith in me. She is one brave lady! While you’re there, stay awhile and check out all of her great recipes. Bon Appetit!

















Just found your blog from Baking with Basil….love it! So many great recipes and photos!
I definitely see basil ice cream making its way into my weekend
Hi Kelli! Thanks for saying hi. I hope basil ice cream makes it into your weekend. I’m in love with it right now. Wish I could make it for everyone to try! You’ll have to tell me if you end up making it.
I finally got an ice cream machine so I am all about making ice cream at the moment. I have thought about making basil ice cream before, but pairing it with those lemon wafers sounds amazing! What a perfect pairing!
You’ve got to give this a try! The pairing is divine. Love your blog by the way! The peach pie looks incredible.
I’m so excited to have found your recipe + blog! I recently learned how delicious basil ice cream is {there’s a lovely little shop in Santa Cruz that makes it} + am intent on making a batch. I can’t wait to give your version a try!
This sounds delicious! Just found your blog and I already love it.
Ah, the feeling is mutual! Just found yours as well!
New follower. I do a regular feature on my blog each sunday. I post my own ice cream recipes, and I post links to other people’s blog who have posted ice cream I think looks yummy. Do you mind if I send some readers your way when I post tonight?
Yeah! I would be honored! Thanks for including me. FYI: week after next, I should have a new ice cream post up.
