This carob chip-studded frozen delight will turn every ice cream making novice to a connoisseur.
- To achieve that perfect firm and creamy consistency, please use organic whole milk and cream.

- Make your carob chips in advance, at least one or two days before.
- Allow the blueberry sauce to cool completely before mixing it in.
If carob chips are unavailable, you may also use carob almond bar pieces or fruit and nut bar chunks.
