Strawberry Ice Cream Soda

A wonderful summertime treat made with sweet, ripe strawberries. Modified from recipe I found in GOING SOLO IN THE KITCHEN.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup  crushed strawberry
•  sugar
• 1⁄4 cup  light cream
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup  chilled  club soda
• 1⁄2-3⁄4 cup vanilla ice cream (1 large scoop)

Directions

1. Sweeten crushed strawberries to taste with sugar (I place strawberries with sugar in blender or processor& pulse a couple of times).
2. Place puree in tall glass; stir in cream and club soda.
3. Add scoop of vanilla ice cream.
4. If desired, garnish with fan cut whole strawberry or sprig of fresh mint.
5. I have used turbinado sugar for a different taste; also can use half& half in place of cream for a thinner, less rich soda.
6. Other berries would work well.
