So I have found myself in a kind of strawberry ice cream craze lately (and by craze I mean I've repeated the flavor twice in a month). So yesterday I decided to go for strawberry ice cream yet again. Ocassionaly the dinning hall will provide toppings for your ice cream. These days are amazing. I do enjoy ice cream on its own, but sometimes the toppings...well...top it off!
So they had the usual, jimmies/sprinkles (chocolate/rainbow), chocolate syrup, caramel, whipped cream, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Then among all of these delicious treats was a new addition (or perhaps I just never noticed). Strawberries! Well..strawberries that had most likely been covered in sugar and was now sitting in some kind of strawberry juice.
I guess it isn't too much different from putting strawberries in your cereal, but I have never done it so it seemed a little foreign to me. Even though I do enjoy strawberries, I figured it might be a little difficult to balance it's sloppy goodness ontop of my cone. Then I had to ask myself how readily others would top their ice cream with these strawberries? What type of ice cream would they use it to top? Just vannila or other flavors as well? Who knows, maybe I'll have to experiment later (any excuse to justify eating more ice cream!)

Strawberries as an icecream topping? Wow I never really thought about that. It does seem very foreign. However I wonder if strawberries in chocolate icecream would resemble anything like chocolate covered strawberries?
I love fruit as ice cream toppings, I think it adds an extra zing to enrich the flavor and complexity. I've heard of bananas, strawberries, and the occasional blueberry added to ice cream but I wonder if anyone has every tried something more extreme like cantaloupe, grapes, or watermelon??
I don't think the strawberries would work as well in a cone, but I feel like I have seen banana splits with strawberry topping. I can't say for sure if it works out or not because I've never actually eaten a strawberry, but I do believe it's an option some people go for.
Strawberries are my favorite ice cream topping! It's the same deliciousness that they have for waffles! Whenever my friends and I go to Friendly's I get strawberries as my topping. mmmm good.
I wouldn't use strawberries for a cone, but for a cup yes.
When we would have super birthday sundaes at my house, strawberries were always one of the optional toppings. Usually on vanilla icecream though, ontop of anything else is ick.
