{I love it when I can make something that is not only yummy but not adding inches to my waistline! I think I have finally refined a recipe I have been working on and now I don’t even feel bad for feeding this to my kids..well..everyday!! Wonder what I am talking about?
Ice cream!!
Yes, that’s what I said. Ice cream! I have now made this 11 times this summer. It’s easy, naturally sweet and best of all….drum roll…..it’s made with ONLY FRUIT!! No cream (I know the ice cream was a little misleading), no sugar and it’s wonderful!
I don’t know if any of you remember when Bill Cosby taped a stand-up comedy movie called Himself in the early 80’s? He tells a story of feeding his kids cake for breakfast and to thank him they sang a little song: “Dad is great! He gives us chocolate cake!” Well, I thought that was so funny!
So when I told the boys this week I had finally gotten my ‘Ice Cream’ recipe right and we were going to have it for breakfast they wanted to know what the catch was. Did it have tofu? Did I hide cruciferous vegetables in it? I have done that..they are no fools ???? I told them I just wanted to live a little. They agreed none the wiser. They think they are getting dessert for breakfast and only I know that it is ALL fruit. Nothing more ???? }
Mango-Grape-Banana Sorbet
10 ounce bag of frozen unsweetened mango chunks
1 C frozen red grapes
1 large ripe banana
1/4 C freshly squeezed orange juice (or from a carton if you have it)
pinch of salt (odd, I know, but it made a difference in the sweetness of the fruit)
In a food processor, combine all ingredients. Process until very smooth, about 2 or 3 minutes. You may need to stop and scrape it down. Serve immediately or pour into Popsicle molds. It will have the consistency of soft serve. I have even added a cup of vanilla fat free yogurt to it and it works too!
I love this..The Husband didn’t believe it didn’t have any cream in it until he watched me make it ???? |
