Not really ice cream weather since the weather gods have been so kind..enjoying a wintery feeling after ages...but saw a recipe for a mango gelato on TV and was tempted to try it with the fruit of the season - strawberry. The fruits are chopped and frozen and then just blended with the curd..as easy with that! The slushy texture is achieved by freezing the fruits but it did make the grinding a bit difficult..so best would be to thaw the fruits for 5-10 minutes before churning,do not thaw completely. Turned out delicious and with such a low fat content,it was a guilt-free dessert ! The topping is of raspberry jam mixed with strawberry pieces ..this is optional,did add a nice twist though :)
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 dozen medium sized strawberries
2 medium bananas
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup thick curd
1. Chop the fruits and freeze in any container for 8-10 hours.
2. When frozen, remove from the freezer and thaw for 5-10 minutes,do not thaw completely as the gelato will not have a slushy texture .
3. Blend with the curd and sugar in the mixie and pour back into the container.
4. Re-freeze for 1-2 hours and your gelato is ready to serve
