Mascarpone & Lavender Ice Cream with Wild Strawberries

This ice cream freshens you up, leaving a gentle hint of lavender lingering on. You can use fresh or dried lavender. Fresh lavender flowers should be collected in branches at the end of summer, then left to dry in bunches. I love this with wild strawberries when they are in season. You can keep the egg whites towards another use such as Nonna’s egg white cake or they can be stored in the freezer, with a label to remind you how many there are.
