Instant Strawberry Ice Cream

This will probably be the only time I use the word instant here and mean it in a good way.





I just made ice cream in less than 10 minutes.  I was craving something tasty, and thought about making ice cream, but that wouldn't be ready for a few hours to a day, and I wanted something NOW.  Check this out, so yummy and so easy.  Food process frozen strawberries, whip cream with a touch of icing sugar - I should've added vanilla, but I didn't think of that until I was already scarfing down this treat - then fold the berries into the cream et voila.  It was an experiment and I didn't know what would happen, but it worked so well and has so many possibilities.  It has to be served right away, or put in the freezer.  My guess is if you have to freeze it, you may have to blend / mix it before serving.  Also, I think this works best for (frozen) fruit based ice creams.  If you want to use fresh fruit or nuts, chocolate, marshmallows, etc, it'll probably work better if it sits in the freezer for a few hours, so that those ingredients have a chance to soften and mingle  :)  then mix to fluff it.  Yum!

Buon Appetito!  (Italian)
