Easy Ice Cream Alternative

[Guest guest]

To anyone interested in delicious creamy frozen treat that's far simpler

and probably healthier than homemade raw ice cream, here's what I do:

1. Take frozen organic berries out of the freezer and pour into a bowl.

Fill halfway or so.

2. Dump lots of fresh raw cream on the berries.

3. If you wait a few minutes, most of the cream will freeze around the

berries and it makes a delicious after-dinner treat.

Works well with blueberries, cherries, raspberies, blackberries, etc.

Strawberries and most other frozen fruit aren't so convenient since

they're more solid and come in larger chunks (very hard to bite

through). If you really want to do this with those fruits, you'll have

to wait 15 minutes or more for the fruit to thaw. My favorite is tart

pie cherries. Just the right amount of sweet.

Also, frozen raspberries make a fantastic snack. Instant finger food. My

roommate freezes fresh grapes and they work pretty well as a quick small

snack as well.

That depends on how (and how much) you sweeten the ice cream, because ice

cream has egg yolks, which can be fantastically nutritious.

Still, I've done this, and it's very tasty. More often I make some whipped

cream, which is awfully nice too.

Not a healthy one in this case, though.

True, but ice cream would be healthier if it had liver in it, which can

be fantastically nutritious.

Yeah, commercial grapes are ridiculously sweet.

I don't follow, since eggs are a natural component of ice cream.

Specifically they are an ingredient of custard style ice creams. More

people are familiar with philadelphia style, which has a less creamy

texture.

Personally, I prefer custard style. I rarely make philly style ice

cream because it just tastes so bland in comparrison.

However, I do have a book with recipes for all sorts of meat flavored

ice creams - so I wouldn't doubt you could make liver ice cream. It

would probably taste a lot like frozen pate with cream. Which

actually doesn't sound that bad.

Philadelphia style? I've never even heard of that. AFAIK every ice cream

I've ever eaten in my life has contained egg yolks.

Oh, I'm sure someone's made liver ice cream. There are a million different

seafood ice creams in Japan and probably in other countries, and I know

Europeans have tried some pretty interesting flavors too.

Sorry, I was being facetious. You seemed to be saying that, yeah that's

healthy, but it would be healthier if it had egg yolks. My point is that

ice cream would be healthier if it had liver as well as egg yolks, so

what's your point?

Put another way, I eat enough raw eggs yolks otherwise; every dish one

eats does not have to contain egg yolks. Or liver.

Just that ice cream necessarily contains egg yolks -- or so I thought, but

apparently there's this whole cheapskate, excuse me, " Philadelphia " , school

of ice cream making which doesn't.

Yeah, there's nothing quite like a bowl of rich French vanilla... The

more egg yolks the merrier.
