I *concocted* this sorbet this morning, and it was incredible! The *color* was gorgeous, too!
Makes 2 large servings at 1 2/5ths pt. each.
Fruit Sorbet
1 frozen *ripe* banana (1 pt.)
1 C. frozen strawberries (2/3rds of a point)
1 C. frozen red grapes (1 pt. - mine are homegrown, tiny, and VERY sweet)
Add 1/4-1/2 C. vanilla soymilk (1 pt.) to reach *sorbet* (or ice cream) consistency while processing in the VM. (I also made this with 1 Yoplait Frozen Espresse Yogurt tube, 1 point.)
I didn't need to add any sugar, syrups, or sugar substitute to sweeten. Adjust sweetness, depending upon your ingredients and taste.
ENJOY!! :D :D :D Carol
[Edit: I'm adding some more for some friends who asked~]
Strawberry Yogurt Freeze
1 C. nonfat yogurt (plain, vanilla, or strawberry)
3 C. whole frozen strawberries, unsweetened
1 TBS. sweetener, to taste (I use DV SF syrups=0pt)
Place ingredients in container in order listed. Secure two part lid. Select *variable*, speed #1. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10; then to *high*.. Remove the lid plug and insert the tamper through the lid opening to help push the ingedients into the blades until the mixture is smooth. A loud pulling sound will indicated that the mixture is frozen and has formed 4 mounds (about 30-60 seconds.) Watch your mixture carefully; running the machine longer does not make it more frozen - it causes melting. Serve immediately. Yield: 3 cups
Orange Sorbet
2 oranges, peeled, seeded and quartered
2 TBS. sweetener, to taste
4 C. ice cubes
Place all ingredients in VM in order listed.(See directions above.) Press cubes into the blades with the tamper while the machine is processing. Within 30 seconds the ingredients should be well blended. Yield: 3 cups
