Re: Latest Frozen Dessert - generic recipe

July 15, 2003

Any flavoring would work - I can imagine most any water-based

drink/liquid could be used, even plain ole water .

Here is a modified recipe you can put in your files.

Frozen Dessert: Just Add Creativity!

1 1/2 tsp guar gum

2 Tbsp instant milk

1 cup crushed ice

1 3/4 cup any water-based liquid

Flavorings/Spices to tase

Splenda to taste

*You'll need an ice cream machine if you want to freeze it.*

Start with 1 3/4 cups of your liquid and 1 cup of crushed ice in a

blender. Blender on the highest speed until ice has melted and the

liquid is very cold. Add your flavorings/spices and Splenda, to your

taste, then blend a few seconds to dissolve.

Put your blender on the lowest setting and turn it on. Remove the

top cap from the lid and slowly add the guar gum. I normally measure

a teaspoon full and lightly tap the spoon to sift it in then measure

1/2 teaspoon and do the same. After the guar gum is all in replace

the cap on the lid. Let this mixture blend on low until it starts to

thicken. As it continues to thicken adjust the speed of the blender

higher. You'll need to be on the highest setting after 3 - 4

minutes. The mixture should be nice and thick by that time.

Take the top cap off again (with the blender on high) and slowly add

your instant milk. After the instant milk has been incorporated, the

mixture will be quite thick and creamy (hopefully your blender can

handle it!)

It's definitely eatable at this point but I like it even better after

it's been frozen. Dump the mixture into an ice cream maker and

you'll shortly be enjoying an incredibly creamy treat.

> PMIK: how about giving this recipe a name? We'll add it to our

tea?
