A "BERRY GOOD" DISH

RELATED CONTENT

Oneofthe most distinctive-and best - tastes in the world of natural fruit ice cream has to be raspberry . . . and you can make the tart confection with either fresh or frozen berries. Mix 2 cups of cream and 1cup ofmilk (or 3 cupsofhalf-and-half) together with one fresh egg, 1/y teaspoonofsalt, and about 1/y cup of cane sugar. (Actually, the amount of sugar you add will vary, according to the tartness of the fruit and to your own taste preference. Remember, also, to sweeten the mashed fruit before you mix it with the M. E. S. S. ) The recipe calls for a total of 2 cups mashed raspberries, or approximately the amount contained in two small produce baskets. Raspberry ice cream has a unique taste that's actually tart and sweet at the same time . . . and it's sure to have ice cream lovers--and even skeptics-lined up for seconds.

THE TOP BANANA

Unlike raspberries, bananas require very little extra sweetener . . . and the tropical fruits are especially delicious in ice cream when combined with nuts. You should always use very ripe fruit in banana-nut ice cream . . . but you canput in any kind of nuts you prefer (try dryroasted peanuts, sliced almonds, or finely chopped walnuts for starters). The M.E.S.S. for this recipe consists of 2 cups of cream and 1-1/2 cupsofmilk (or s-1/2 cups of half-andhalf), one fresh egg, 1/4 teaspoonofsalt, and 2/3 cup of cane sugar. Once the base as well blended, fold in 1 pound of the ripe, mashed fruit (which is usually equal to about 2 or 3 bananas) and 1/2 cup of .crushed nuts . . . then freeze at up and watch it disappear!

YOGURT OF THE GODS

Here's good news for folks who like the ideaofa pure, homemade dessert but don't want to consume all the calories that ice cream contains: It's possible to make delectable frozen yogurt in your home ice cream freezer! Simply puree whatever fruit you want to usealong with some sweetener-in a blender . . . and then mix the mashed fruit with plain yogurt, right in the freezer can. The procedure for freezing the nourishing treat is just the same as for ice cream . . . and, after 18 to ;20 minutes of cranking, you'll turn out a cooling dessert that's both low in calories and high in protein.
