Would you like to prepare a delicious melon ice cream? Here you are two recipes you'll be able to try and choose according to your personal taste!
The pleasure in a fruit ice cream lies in few ingredients; in this case only melon, sugar and yogurt or egg-white.
One of the reason why many people decide to buy a Thermomix is the possibility of preparing ice cream in a healthy and cheap way avoiding the consumption of preservatives or the emptying of your wallet. And what about the great satisfaction of ending a dinner with a home-made ice cream or giving an healthy, fresh and yummy snack to your children? Priceless.
Last summer I satisfied all my ice cream whims. I bought empty cones (you can find them in any supermarket or discount), then I whipped cream and served ice cream cones to my daughters. They were enthusiastic! The floor was a bit less enthusiastic, but it doesn't matter...
If you want to try other ice creams, here it is the Yogurt Ice Cream, the Peach Ice Cream, the Banana Ice Cream, the Apple Ice Cream, the Strawberry Ice Cream, the Basic Custard Ice Cream and the Chocolate Ice Cream.
While if you are fond of melon try the Fruit Bavarois.
