My dad used to drink buttermilk, and just the way it stuck to the side of glass and the sour smell of the stuff kept me from trying it. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I discovered what passes for buttermilk at most stores is not the same thing as the locally produced buttermilk such as Maple View Dairy. It is tart and creamy. It’s a perfect pairing for fresh fruit to give it a rich depth of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (Maple View Dairy)
- ⅓ cup whole fat buttermilk (Maple View Dairy)
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (6 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste
Preparation
Combine ice cream and buttermilk using a blender. Pour into a large measuring cup.
Rinse blender pitcher. Add blackberries and powdered sugar. Puree until smooth. In a large drinking glass, add about ⅓ of the ice cream, then layer half the blackberries, then add another ⅓ of the ice cream, the remaining blackberries, then ice cream. Enjoy immediately.
