This recipe for Italian ice cream makes a cool, fruity treat that is great for hot summer days. You can make a delicious dessert that is packed full of flavor with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients: 4 cups fresh fruit strawberries, peaches, or lemons. 1 cup water. 1 cup sugar. 1/4 cup lemon juice if using strawberries or peaches.
Instructions: Clean the fruit and take out any stems or pits to get it ready. Use a blender to blend the fruit until it is smooth. Sugar and water should be mixed in a saucepan. Stir as you bring it to a boil until the sugar is gone. Take the sugar syrup off the heat and let it cool down all the way. In a large bowl, mix the fruit puree, sugar syrup, and lemon juice, if using. Put the mix in a shallow dish and freeze it for an hour. After an hour, scrape the mixture with a fork to get rid of any ice crystals. If you want to make the mixture completely frozen and slushy, put the dish back in the freezer and scrape it again every 30 minutes. Serve the ice cream in cones or cups, and enjoy!
