Strawberry Milk Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Following the traditional strawberry, vanilla, chocolate ice cream flavors, this is my take on strawberry. To be honest I’ve been a bit obsessed lately experimenting with strawberry milk powder. The one we get in Germany is, I believe, a bit healthier than what’s available in the USA. It’s sweetened mostly with fruit sugar.

This ice cream tasted exactly like strawberry milk. It was sweet and light and the bittersweet chocolate chips added just the right balance to the overall flavor.
