This just happened. Kind of by accident.
On Saturday I made some cupcakes to celebrate my brothers birthday. Chocolate cupcakes with a "frosting" of whipped cream and raspberries. They were delicious. You can't go wrong with berries and cream so why not put it on a cupcake?
Anyhow... I had extra raspberry cream left over and so I quickly poured it into this loaf pan, added some plastic wrap to seal it and popped in the freezer. I figured it would taste just as delicious frozen.
I forgot about it until today when I was looking for something to defrost for dinner. Ta da! It is kind of like a granita so I'm calling it that. It has that texture. If you let it soften it will get creamier and easier to get a scoop. I think the texture of it like this works just as well. It's nicely tart from the raspberries. I barely added any sugar so you could sweeten it if you want.
I prefer it tart.
Ingredients:
Whipping cream (500ml)
frozen raspberries
sugar to taste
Let the frozen berries thaw.
I like buying frozen organic berries to use in smoothies so I always have them on hand. When they are thawed you can easily mash them. Then I add sugar to taste.
Whip your cream until it is a lovely, pillowy whipped cream.
Stir in your mashed berries.
Pour into a metal loaf tin and smooth out with a spatula.
Add a layer of plastic wrap to the top of cream and lightly press down to seal it. Then I added an extra layer of wrap just to be safe. Let freeze (or even partially freeze) , scoop and enjoy :)
Yum! Happy accident even I could make :-) Thanks for sharing.
