No, hands too & quite often t-shirt, so not just you. ☺️

Cheers for the recipe, will be easy to low carb that & I do love peanut butter so will try this, ta! Might try with crunchy nut butter, no reason for it not to work. Adding banana would be lovely, as they really go together, sadly not on my menu though. 😒

As for the granita, it will freeze, but stay as softer crystals, a bit more frozen than a slush puppy. Just give it a stir after a couple of hours & then again, so the alcohol stays mixed through. With the ice tray, that's for coulis without alcohol, as they will freeze fully, but then you can take one or some out, defrost & use to add to whatever.

Hi Jessie, how are you doing?

I have another batch ready for today's heatwave down South.

This one is made from fat-free strained yoghurt, whole fresh raspberries, bananas and only 2 tablespoons of honey. I wasn't sure whether fat was necessary but it tastes delicious and very refreshing again (the peanut butter was less so - perhaps it's a winter ice)

I identified my first fruity concoction as a gelato not ice cream at all. This one probably is too.

Thanks but I'll stick with sugar/honey as the only 'clean' sweetener is out of my price range - the dried leaf from the Amazon. I'm on a restricted diet and can't risk side-effects.

That does sound delicious @WhatThe! 😍

It is Holly! 🍨

3 cups raspberries : 1 cup fat-free strained yoghurt

1/4 cup milk

banana

2 level tablespoons honey/sugar

vanilla essence

Zap the raspberries, banana and honey/sugar in a food processor. Mix yoghurt, milk and vanilla essence in a cold bowl then add fruit and blend. Needs an hour or two to thaw unless that's just my freezer. Commercial ice cream won't stay frozen in my freezer so I'm very happy with these creations.

Lining and covering the baking tin with greaseproof paper helps it set quickly and reduces ice formation.

Sounds lovely @WhatThe might just have to give it a try. Next time I go shopping will get what I need.

Bluebell, I must warn you about blackcurrants and blackberries - my tongue turned purple/black 😆 luckily no-one else had to see it but your husband and even Sam would probably notice.

Stick to reds 🍓

Thank you, will do.
