Hi, sometime ago I was at a market where as you watched, fresh fruit was put
into a large machine which churned and obviously cooled it making a healthy
fruit snack of a soft serve ice cream consistancy (which of course they were
selling). I would love to be able to do this at home, have tried blending
frozen fruit in the blender only to have a mushy icy mix at the end like
baby food. I tried blending some fruit and putting it in a regular ice
cream maker so it could churn it etc, but it came out a solid lump. I've
seen soft serve ice cream makers advertised - does any one have one, which
could do this? In looking online I've seen ones advertised which don't need
a canister to be frozen, (which would be much more convenient!), and
supposedly they do smoothies and some alcoholic beverages as well. They
would be great if they really did all that, easily, but more importantly the
fruit as well. Can anyone recommend anything they think might work? Also
I'm in Australia, so it would need to be available here (or not too
expensive to ship).
Thanks for your thoughts
