Just add a little Haagen Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream and you have pure Nirvana.

From your garden? Those are perfect looking. I had some just the other
day. Instead of ice cream I use bananas. I peel a few put then in the
freezer overnight and then thru my heavy duty machine which pulps
anything that goes in it. The bananas come out tasting a lot like ice
cream without the vein clogging fat etc. It is pretty good too.

I wish I could grow berries like that!
I got these from Costco. ($5 for 4 pounds!!!)
These commercial growers have a bunch of tricks up their sleeve to get
such large and perfect looking berries.
I've tried growing strawberries several times but mine always are about
1/2-1/3 as big as these beauties, but their flavor is even better.

I like your idea of using frozen banana puree in place of ice cream.
I just recently bought one of those high-powered blenders (Blendtec) and
I really like it. As much as I love Haagen Dazs ice cream I know that
the fats are terrible for my already high cholesterol and triglycerides.
Strawberries and frozen banana puree sounds like a win-win combination.
