Homemade Ice Cream


My last WWOOF host taught me a traditional recipe for homemade ice cream which uses 4 raw eggs, cream, sugar and your choice of flavouring.  Preferring to avoid sugar and raw eggs, and being a bit of a kefir junkie, I decided to find a way to make kefir ice cream without an ice cream maker and which also appealed to Ulf, who loves the creamy flavour of ice cream.  This is my first attempt at something between straight kefir ice cream and the traditional version.  And it tastes amazing...!!!

Banana Kefir-Yoghurt Ice Cream

Combine in a bowl:
3 bananas, mashed with a fork (or two large ones)
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1/4 cup agave syrup (or you could use honey instead)
1 1/2 cups natural yoghurt
1 cup kefir

In another bowl, beat 300ml cream until aerated and doubled, NOT whipped.
Gently fold cream into first bowl and freeze 6 hours or overnight.

YUM!
P.S. Ulf loves it too!
