Summer brings the heat and leaves us reaching for cool, refreshing treats. Lynn Tucker, Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator at NorthShore, shares a homemade “gelato” that tastes good and is good for you. While this recipe has a few steps* involved, Lynn Tucker assures that it is well worth it!
*This does not require an ice cream maker.
Recipes makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
**Optional
Directions:
Tip: Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to soften up a little bit. It has a lot less fat than normal ice cream or gelato so will freeze harder and not be scoopable right out of the freezer if it’s not fresh.
