Bring together two of summer’s best treats in one dessert: homemade ice cream and sweet, juicy berries. Before the ice cream hardens completely, fold in your choice of berry jam and a couple handfuls of fresh or frozen berries. When it’s time to dig in, creamy white scoops will be woven with waves of bright fruit. No topping can do it justice.
