Because of the amazing nature of this easy ice cream recipe, I believe it is my duty to share it with you at the onset of summer heat here in Oregon. It\u2019s delicious, cheap, and quick \u2013 and requires no special machine beyond a food processor or a blender you most likely already have. I have also made a couple of updates to this recipe, making it even more flexible and versatile!<\/p>\n

There are many good reasons to add this ridiculously quick and simple recipe to your collection.<\/p>\n

Maybe you think that making ice-cream at home is more trouble than buying it.<\/p>\n

Maybe you hate unitaskers.<\/p>\n

Or think that ice-cream makers are bourgeois.<\/p>\n

Or are impatient.<\/p>\n

Me, I\u2019m all of the above. Still, when it\u2019s 90 degrees and my kitchen is overflowing with fresh berries, I begin to wonder what life would have been like if I could churn all that summery goodness into a dairy-rich, cold treat.<\/p>\n

Enter this recipe.<\/p>\n

Everything about this recipe is right:<\/p>\n

It requires no ice-cream maker.<\/p>\n

It relies heavily on frozen fruit.<\/p>\n

It only takes five minutes to prepare.<\/p>\n

It is extremely, excruciatingly delicious.<\/p>\n

It leaves people endlessly impressed.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t take my word for it. Find out today.<\/p>\n

Here is how:<\/p>\n

\"Berry

Start with some frozen berries. You can use a 10-oz package of boughten berries, or freeze your own on a cookie sheet. I liked the strawberry version best, but raspberries, which are currently ripe in the garden, are equally amazing, and I can\u2019t wait to try it with blackberries!<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: You can also use peeled frozen bananas, alone or in combination with the berries. Just remember to cut down on the sugar if you do, as bananas are far sweeter than berries.<\/p>\n

\"Frozen

Aren\u2019t they pretty?<\/p>\n

\"berry

Throw the berries into a food processor\u2026<\/p>\n

Add granulated sugar, and process until the fruit is finely chopped.<\/p>\n

\"berry

With the blade running, pour heavy cream into the opening in the lid and process just until the mixture resembles ice-cream.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: I have since made this recipe with whole milk rather than heavy cream, and it works just as well. You can also use half\u2019n’half or plain (or flavored!) yogurt!<\/p>\n

\"berry

If you have processed the mixture too long and ended up with a rather soupy-looking product, don\u2019t fret! Pour everything into a container and stick it the freezer, where it will reach the right consistency by the next day.<\/p>\n

Ask me how I know.<\/p>\n

Whichever the case, it will be perfect after it firms up. Like this:<\/p>\n

\"Easy

And you can freeze and refreeze it without compromising the texture.
