Fruity Gelato - Real Recipes from Mums

Delicious on a summer's day or just spoiling yourself for dessert

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 cups fruit, fresh or frozen
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites

Method

Combine the fruit, lemon juice and honey in a bowl and mash or use a stick blender to puree
Pour into a cake tin lined with baking paper. Place into the freezer. This should take approximately 2-3 hours to freeze
In a bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the frozen fruit mixture and mix using a stick blender until it becomes light and fluffy.
Pour into your serving dish and place back into the freezer for 2-3 hours or until firm

Notes

This recipe requires tasting before you freeze the final mixture so you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. I used frozen raspberries for this recipe. After the fruit was pureed, I strained the mixture to remove all of the seeds. You could use bananas, strawberries, mixed berries, blueberries or my favourite, mangoes! Frozen fruit is a great choice for this recipe as most packs measure 500g which is around 2 cups. If you don't have any honey, castor sugar is a perfectly acceptable substitute. I would replace it with about one third of a cup
