Five minute ice cream.

A must for these hot summer days -


-only takes a few minutes to make and must be eaten immediately!

Ice cream made the easy way.
250 - 300g frozen mango pieces
250g thick yoghurt 
150g thick double cream (Jersey is good, high in CLA)
3 teaspoons of passion fruit curd (optional)

Start by liquidising frozen mango pieces, (using a hand blender works well) adding some of the yoghurt if the blade gets clogged up by the frozen pulp. Blend in the rest of the yoghurt. Whisk the cream and stir in gently adding a swirl of passion fruit curd before serving if you want to be really decadent. This ice cream needs to be eaten straight away as it will soon start to melt. Serves four - six.

nb. I use mango because it produces a wonderfully smooth and creamy ice cream. Organic frozen fruit is not easy to come by and mango is more likely to be low in chemicals than berries which are heavily treated.
