Creamy ice cream with berries and mint is a refined delicacy of Russian cuisine, combining the tenderness of creamy texture, the freshness of berries, and subtle hints of mint. Its roots trace back to European ice cream traditions but gained its unique character through its soft texture and airiness. The base made from eggs, milk, and cream transforms into a velvety cream with a light strawberry hue, while added peaches provide fruity sweetness. Chilled in shape, it becomes the perfect dessert for summer evenings or festive gatherings. Its lightness and refreshing taste make it a wonderful conclusion to a meal, while the mint aroma adds an exquisite touch. Ideal with a cup of fragrant tea or a glass of cool white wine.
