Vicki's Notes:

This is more like a sorbet. A sweet treat without the guilt.

Dipping this when frozen, isn't like dipping ice cream, its more like scraping it like shaved ice to get your ice cream scoop filled.

Hope you try it, and like it. Especially in the Summer.

Directions

In a Blender - add ingredients

Puree til smooth

Cover and place in freezer for several hours.

(a cup of fresh peeled de-stoned peaches makes about 4 - one dip servings.)

2 peeled bananas serve about 4 - 1 dip servings as well.

you can always top the dips of smoothie with other fruits,yogurt.

Adding milk or yogurt to the mixture before freezing migh also make the consistency more like an ice cream or serbert.

WOW this is super easy. Use to make ice cream when my kids were younger but now it's only my husband (pre-diabetic) & myself. We love all fruits and this sounds healthy enough for my husband when he needs a sweet treat. Thanks for sharing.
