Firstly a belated Happy New Year to you all! & what better way to start my new year of blogging than with some more of my favourite desserts (that just so happen to be wonderfully healthy and taste like they're not) fruit 'ice-cream'. I've done a fair few flavours before, we've had:
As always you can make it ahead of time and pop it back into the freezer for a harder 'ice cream' consistency- just remember to pull it out before dinner so it's soft enough to scoop by dessert time or eat it straight out of the blender for a 'soft serve' texture. These recipes use lite soy milk which you can buy or if you want to skip the added sugar/salt/oil you can make from pure organic soy milk (1:1 soy milk:water) I've recently switched to bonsoy and love it (making your own is less calories too!). As always use ripe fruit and they will be lovely and sweet but if you need it add a little stevia and adjust to taste.
So without any further a due here are some more wonderful fruit 'ice cream' flavours. I love fresh jackfruit, frozen jackfruit, canned jackfruit so this was the natural evolution. If you haven't tried it it tastes like a cross between pineapple and banana and has a fleshy slightly stringy texture (not that that's a consideration when you blend it)
