2️⃣ Mix the berries:
• In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

4️⃣ Prepare the berry sauce:
• Blend the fresh strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous sauce.
• Adjust the amount of sugar if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
5️⃣ Pour the sauce:
• Pour a couple of tablespoons of the berry sauce over the ice cream and the fruit mixture in each glass. The sauce will enhance the fresh flavor of the berries.
6️⃣ Decorate:
• Decorate each cup with fresh mint leaves for a green and aromatic touch.
• Sprinkle grated chocolate or add pieces of white chocolate for an irresistible visual and flavor contrast
✨ Tips and Variations:
• Quality ice cream: Use a premium vanilla ice cream for a creamier and more authentic texture.
