I hope you all remember when I warned you about all of the berries coming your way from Gringalicious. I wasn’t kidding around. It’s going to be berry season soon!

I have an obsession with berries. Call me crazy if you like but I think I’d choose fresh berries over chocolate at every opportunity. I can eat so many of them.

)Now I may prefer berries to chocolate, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have an almost equal love for chocolate. Oh, and when you put the two of them together……amazing! And if you involve ice cream and cookies in this delicious equation then you’re looking at a pretty over the top dessert!

These were a creation of the moment, guys. I really didn’t put much thought into them at all. I was making chocolate chip cookies while staring at a crate of fresh raspberries and then they somehow found their way into the cookies. Then I remembered that there was some ice cream in the freezer that I wanted to use and,voila! -> raspberry chocolate awesomeness is born!

I love it when this happens. Don’t get me wrong, I put a lot of thought, time, and effort into planning recipes most of the time. It’s just that small percentage of instances that are spontaneous, the thoughtless epiphanies, they always seem to be the best! So I’m hoping you get the chance to try these and they just so happen to be perfect for Valentine’s Day next month!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
