Delicately spiced with cinnamon and blended with a rich, creamy vanilla ice cream, this smoothie is the ultimate expression of blackberries. After one taste you’ll think you died and went to heaven.
2/3 to 3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
1 1/2 cups partially frozen blackberries
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with Berries on a Skewer (see Great Garnishes) or top with Pastry Crunch (see Sinful Sauces and Toppings), if desired.
