definitely more sugar I might try this again with adjustments. Pros: nice strawberry flavor Cons: a bit too icy and not sweet enough
The best ice cream I've made so far! I wrote about it in my food blog "Eating the Rainbow" if you'd like to read about my experience: http://superfoodsyear.blogspot.com/2010/08/wonder-of-homemade-ice-cream.html
Awesome Burst of Berry! This was a fabulous dessert for 4th of July! My husband and I both raved about it. We used fresh strawberries and will be making this again. Easy and delicous! Pros: Absolutely delicious! Cons: No Cons!
Best frozen treat yet! We made this last week and it was AMAZING! We had some berries that needed to be used up and this was the way to go! Didn't find the need to strain the strawberry puree; who cares about a few small seeds. Just pureed and added in. Could have done w/o frozen chunks made it difficult to chew; maybe will puree them too next time. Froze leftovers and agree they froze solid. Had to allow it to come up in temperature before indulging. Well worth it! Can't wait to try blueberry and peach! Pros: great texture pleasant taste
this tastes really good and looks great
Based on previous comments in other reviews I tweaked the recipe and it turned out amazing. First the not sweet enough I doubled the sugar. Didn't bother straining out seeds kinda lends credence to the homemade style. I don't like the frozen chunks never did so I just pureed the whole bunch of berries.In response to the hard and icy concerns I used 2 cups of Bulgarian style buttermilk (3% milk fat v/s 1%) and I cup half and half to make it smoother and creamier. After 3 hours in fridge freezer it's still very scoopable. Definitely worth it. Besides we are harvesting so many strawberries this year anyway.
Icy and Hard This sherbet needs fat. The fresh flavor shines through but it's hard and icy rather than smooth and creamy. It has to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you can scoop it out; otherwise you need an ice pick. Pros: Good strawbery flavor; easy to prepare Cons: Hard icy texture
I made the recipe as written and it was delicious! I used a cheesecloth (instead of a sieve) to strain the berry mixture which worked really well. I'd definitely recommend this as a yummy summer dessert!
