Instructions
- (Same procedure for both the ice-creams)
- Puree the strawberries in a food processor or blender and squeeze in the half lemon. Set it aside.
- For the banana ice-cream, roast the almonds till a smoky hue and roughly chop the nuts , puree the bananas with a dash of lemon juice and mix with the nuts.
- In a large bowl, mix the condensed milk, fresh cream, cream cheese and whisk it on a medium speed with an electric beater till they are frothy , swirly & gushy
- Gently fold in the strawberry puree/banana puree & nuts and salt in to the cream mix and scrape them into a plastic box.
- Freeze it for 4-6 hours and enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !
Notes
The mix will expand when freezed, so put it in a plastic tub the right size with enough space in the top.
Cover it with a cling film and the lid of the box/tub has to be shut air-tight
You can add choco-chips or marshmallows too before scraping it to the tub.
It is OK if the mix is tad sharper/sweeter than you wished for; as freezing tones down the flavor over time, the mix will adjust to the right taste
