Fruit-Frenzy Ice Cream

If you make it yourself, a frozen dessert can be cold and refreshing and still give you a full serving of fruit. This dish is best made with ripe, local fruit that has been prepped and frozen at its peak. By freezing the fruit, you don’t need an ice-cream maker and it will be ready to eat within 30 minutes of making. Without all of the sugar, fat and additives of store-bought ice cream, it doesn’t have the same shelf-life in the freezer so eat it up the day you make it!

Children can help in measuring and blending the ingredients.
