Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream with bananas, pineapple, and maraschino cherries was the quintessential summer time treat at Mimi’s house.
Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream was always my childhood favorite. There is nothing better than homemade ice cream on a hot and steamy summer day in South Louisiana! I can still hear the ice cream machine turning on Mimi’s back porch as my grandfather was busy smoking something for dinner that night.
Light, refreshing, creamy and full of tropical fruit flavors. Not to mention that it whips up in a snap. What could be better?
