Indian Ice Cream (5/7)

List item

There is no ice or cream involved in this Indigenous Canadian treat. In fact, depending how you make it, Indian ice cream isn’t really sweet! It is a whipped confection of native soapberries (Shepherdia canadensis) and water. Sometimes sweeter berries or sugar are added to the recipe to make it sweeter. It’s definitely an acquired taste!

There wasn’t a recipe at the image source, but you can find directions for making Indian ice cream here.
