@Rinse & rePeat, I tried the gelatin again using your exact recipe and found the cup of honey when blended with the fruit to be way too sweet but without that much honey, the TBSP of gelatin wasn’t enough to keep the milk from becoming hard so as much as I didn’t want to rely on extra cream for availability reasons, I played around with different milk and cream ratios and ended up with a 50/50 split—1/2 a cup (118 ml) of whole milk and 1/2 a cup (118 ml) of cream per 2 cups (280 g) of frozen fruit (adding half a banana, cut into 1/2” slices prior to freezing, makes it creamier without altering the taste much)—and since the fruit is naturally sweet, I only needed 1 to 3 teaspoons of sweetener. Below are some of the batches I made with 1 cup of whole milk per 2 cups of fruit:
PEACHES & CREAM
STRAWBERRIES & CREAM
And ones with 1/2 a cup of milk and 1/2 a cup of cream per 2 cups of fruit:
PEACHES & CREAM
BLUEBERRIES & CREAM
The next batch I make, I’ll try plating it Pinterest pretty for the thread. :) I know the point of the thread is ice cream without eggs and extra cream, but the fruit cuts down on the calories so even with the extra cream added, based on the fruit I used, the ice cream only averages roughly 83 calories per 1/2 a cup or 500 calories for the entire 3 cup batch, whereas Häagen-Dazs’ strawberry ice cream has 260 calories per 1/2 a cup or 1,040 for 3 cups. For those wanting an all plant-based option, I haven’t tried this exact recipe with coconut cream but I’ve used it successfully in another ice cream recipe so I imagine it would work well with this one.
