Caramelized Banana-Blueberry Gelato Recipe
So creamy and rich, this fruity gelato is the perfect way to use up your ripe bananas and cool off with a treat. It turned out to be a good thing that we couldn't eat our most recent batch of bananas quickly enough. I bought way too many at once, and somehow did the same thing with blueberries. I couldn't very well … [Read more...]
