Ingredients


Ingredients

  • Strawberry
    300 g
  • Watermelon
    100 g
  • Lemon juice
    2 tbsp
  • Sugar
    3 tbsp
  • Water
    100 ml



Steps

  • 1. All you need is to combine ingredients in blender in a homogeneous puree. Lemon juice accentuates strawberry, if you use another berry – do not add lemon. I added watermelon for its characteristic pleasant smell. You may take frozen berries, but fresh ones are tastier.
  • 2. Pour prepared puree in a cold-resistant capacity and put into the freezer. You need to take the capacity out each 40-70 minutes and mix it well with a fork. In the very beginning, only edges will congeal, then the center. In the end, you will get dense cold mass. Leave it in the freeze.
  • 3. Take off the granite from the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving and impose an ice mass with folk. It is very delicious and cool. Here there are much less calories than in ice cream, and you will get even more pleasure. Feel free to experiment with pineapples and any favorite fruits.
