The original Pink Summer Clouds recipe came from the New Zealand Listener many years ago, and is just wonderful. I might not have the original ingredients totally correct, but this version is just as good as the one I remember.

If you have the great good fortune to have your own raspberry patch, try making it with all fresh raspberries. YUM! But any combination of summer berries is fine. And even fresh, frozen berries will work once thawed.

For an extra fancy (grown-up) version, drizzle over a little berry compote, and top with a few fresh berries. But kids’ love this just as is, one soft, cold, helping of pink cloud deliciousness!

Of course, you could make an adventure of it, and take the kids out fresh berry picking. Either on a berry farm where the public can pick their own berries, or even foraging in the wild if you know a good source of berries, free from spray.
