Have you ever made your own ice cream? When I was very young my mother made our ice cream all the time because you just could not buy it.  It took quite a lot of effort to make as there were several cycles of freezing and beating to go through to make sure the final product was light and creamy. Sadly, I really didn’t like the vanilla ice cream she made. But I did like one of her recipes i.e. this Fruit Salad Ice Cream recipe. I will share this one now – it is a great recipe for summer and very easy to make! I jazzed it up by adding a wonderful Essential Oil – Green Mandarin. I am loving this oil at the moment and have been looking for ways to use it. My daughter tells me it is very tasty in a G&T too!

* Before I go on I just want to let you know that I have added some links to my doTERRA webpage throughout this post so you can check out any of the oils I mention.

What you will need:

1 tin evaporated milk

1 cup sugar

1 small orange

1 small lemon

1 banana (mashed)

1 passion-fruit

1 drop  Green Mandarin Essential Oil

Method:

Whip milk until it begins to thicken.

Add sugar and whip until it is dissolved.

Add the juice of the lemon and the orange and the Green Mandarin Oil.

Whip again until thick.

Stir in the mashed banana and the passion-fruit pulp.

Freeze rapidly. This ice cream does not need re beating. 

Enjoy!
