Do you remember the slushes you badgered your dad into buying for you at the carnival when you were a kid? You know the ones. Colors not found in nature. Syrupy sweet flavors created by science instead of real fruit.
And although in the title for this recipe Marcella describes Sgroppino as a ‘slush’, it might have a few subtle differences.

Real strawberries, real lemons, real whipping cream, real cane sugar – and an ingredient they didn’t offer at the carnival – that fresh bright sparkling wine we all love, Prosecco.

Even though this is a three step recipe, it is so simple. You can make the lemon ice cream ahead of time. You can puree the strawberries ahead of time. Then you bring it all together in just a few minutes. If you want to be flashy and show off a bit, do it tableside as your Venetian waiter would.
