Delicious flavours, minimal effort and maximum results! https://zoeford.com/pages/about
Ingredients
2 ½ cups fresh or frozen berries
1 cup white sugar
2 egg whites
1 cup chocolate biscuit crumbs, chocolate chips, frozen fruits and/or nuts
Directions
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat berries, sugar and egg whites until blended. Increase the speed to high, and whip for 7 to 9 minutes, until tripled in volume and peaks begin to form. Fold in biscuit crumbs, chocolate chips, frozen fruit, and/or nuts with a silicone spatula. Do not overmix.
Immediately transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours and ideally overnight.
Serve with your favourite toppings. Stores well in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
Serves 6-8
Jo’s Tips: Anything juicy will work, including very ripe peaches or juicy berries – but not apples or plums. Frozen berries result in a brighter colour. No yolks at all or this will not whip up!
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: I love that you can make ice cream without another appliance on the kitchen counter. Get the kids involved…they’ll surprise you with their concoctions! A fresh and wholesome alternative to store-bought ice cream…just in time for backyard shenanigans!
