What a great idea for an ice cream topping. So different than the traditional ideas!
Oooh, that sounds like such a wonderful combo, I look forward to trying it!
I never thought about coupling basil with peaches but it doesn’t sound horrible! It looks amazing!
This sounds like it would be delish on ice cream 🙂
What a fun twist on ice cream. I have tried a strawberry basil but never peach basil. Sounds so good!
