Instant Raspberry Ice Cream

The other day, out of nowhere, Mr 3 asked for Ice Cream. I haven't made him Ice-Cream in months and it's getting colder and colder here in Australia, so I'm not sure what prompted his request.

Not having any Ice Cream in the freezer, I thought I'd experiment and whip him up some instant ice cream. After all, 3 year Olds want everything NOW. I knew that explaining to him that I would need to pop the bowl in the freezer for at least a day before making him churned ice cream wouldn't be met with a welcome "Sure Mummy, I'll wait a day or so for Ice Cream!"

Now, I don't usually give in to his every request, I thought it would be fun to experiment with him by my side. I had raspberries in the freezer and some plain greek yoghurt in the fridge so I thought that the right quantity of each mixed together in my Mini Food Processor could result in a creamy cold treat.

Thankfully it did! It just needed a little honey to sweeten the it up. My boys are used to greek yoghurt so can tolerate the sourness if sweetened with just a little honey. You may need to add extras if your little ones have a sweeter tooth. Or, feel free to use your favorite yoghurt instead.

Double or triple the recipe and use a larger food processor if you have more than 2 children to feed. Just keep the ratio the same, add too much yoghurt and you'll end up with a smoothie!
