Quick and easy dessert

[angel_negra]

This is something I like making up especially during hot weather.

What you need:
- Frozen Fruit of your choice (I love using blueberries, mainly because they're easy to scoop up with a spoon.)
- Milk/cream of your choice (I lean towards my normal drinking milk or my coffee cream if I'm trying to use it up before it goes bad, but any milk or milk substitute you drink that'll freeze will work.)
- Sugar (This is totally optional. If you find your chosen berries sweet enough to eat plain, you can leave off the sugar; if you have a sweet tooth, sugar can be nice.)

Pour some of the frozen berries into a bowl, and then pour on enough milk to cover most of them. Think of it like when you add milk to cereal. Add sugar to taste and let it sit for a couple of seconds. The frozen berries will freeze the most milk into ice-milk and voila! Berries and ice cream. :D

Handy for when you either need to use up the milk/cream fast or you can't get down to the store to buy a carton of actual ice cream.

I do that with plain yogurt. I never thought it would freeze milk that quickly too.

Mm, yogurt

I've done it a couple of times with yogurt since I'd posted this and that's very yummy too.

Milk will freeze, but the higher the cream content in it, the better it works.

I started with yogurt mostly because I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, but it was hard to give up ice cream. The yogurt is easier for me to digest. (And I use a non-sugar sweetener too, which is nice.)


It is very yummy and cold when the weather is hot.
