A month ago, I was putting the following ingredients together for a fruit sauce. ?áWhile making it, I was reminded of ice cream. ?áIt looked delicious and cold. I gave it a taste, and it was amazing! ?áSo I decided that I was indeed making ice cream. ?áThis combination is sweet, but not too sinful. ?áFor the final touch, I added the magic ingredient: homemade vanilla bean extract. ?áThe silky vanilla really comes through!
This is awesome!
Ingredients
600g bag frozen fruit, I used mixed berries
1/4 to 1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Using a food processor, blitz the frozen fruit until it is a fine paste. ?áAdd icing sugar, cream and vanilla. ?áContinue processing the ingredients until they resemble ice-cream. ?áPut into containers of your choosing and freeze. ?áUse within a few days.
*You could easily use a different sweetener, like maple syrup or agave syrup. ?áCoconut milk might be a nice substitute for the cream. ?áExperiment and let me know how it turns out for you!

Yes!!! I am going to try some variations of this, and try making it through schmushing the berries and then using my hand-mixer.
sweet!
Smoothies made with a hand-mixer end up like ice-cream. Just thaw the berries a little bit and/or add more cream.
Will do, thanks on the tips!
