5 minute "ice cream"



i am always looking for treats that aren't quite so unhealthy. i found this recipe years ago on allrecipes, but was discouraged that it called for cream. a while back i tried substituting yogurt, but that was too thick. i think i have found the right balance of yogurt and milk to keep the texture good. i suppose it has more of a frozen yogurt texture. it is a good thing it is sooo yummy and gets gobbled up quickly, 'cause it melts fast!

this is a good base... you will have to adjust. this makes about 4-5 1/2 cup servings.

2 cups frozen fruit... go ahead and try 'em all
2tbsp-1/2 c sugar (confectioners or reg)...depending on the sweetness of the fruit & what you like

combine the 2 above ingredients in the food processor. the new mixture will be very grainy. now is a good time to test sweetness. start with less as you can always add more.

now add:
3-4 tbsp greek plain yogurt
and process again.

while the mixture is still processing add milk very slowly through the chute. it will begin to turn from the grainy mixture, to a smooth creamy blend. add milk slowly and in small amounts so it isn't runny.

and that is it!! hope you love it as much as we do! tasted so great on this 90 degree day!
