Almost Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

Welcome to Creations by Kara! I hope you'll c

Thanks so much for all your kind words about my Etsy items! You sure know how to make a girl feel good. Hopefully buyers will feel the same way.

If you haven't checked out my giveaway over at Crap I've Made, you'd better get on over there! There's only a couple of days left. And I'd love for one of my readers to win, that would just be cool!

Alright, enough chit chat. Here's a recipe to start your week off. If you are looking for a super easy ice cream recipe, this is it. I grew up loving this totally refreshing and delicious summer treat. It has a similar taste and texture to homemade ice cream, but without the work. You don't even need an ice cream maker. It is sooooo yummy! We like it best with both types of berries, but you can use two bags of the same kind if you like. This makes a large batch, so it is perfect for having friends over. And of course it tastes better when you are sitting out on your deck relaxing.

• Almost Homemade Fruit Ice Cream
• 1/2 gallon pineapple sherbet, softened
• 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
• 1 10oz pkg frozen raspberries, partially thawed
• 1 10oz pkg frozen strawberries, partially thawed
• 3-4 bananas, diced
• 20oz can crushed pineapple with juice, chilled

Combine all ingredients in a LARGE plastic bowl. Stir well until mixed. (I find that a potato masher works great at smoothing the lumps in the ice cream.) Return to freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours. Remove from freezer about 20 minutes before serving.
