PINEAPPLE ICECREAM WITH WATERMELON

In this part of the world it is always hot & during this period, even hotter. The mind and body is craving for coolers. My personal choice is the island famous Iced Tea / Ice Lemon Tea. Its my son's favourite too! Coolers are always stocked at home as he has them any time, even at an unearthly hour of the night. He in fact loves end number of coolers, flavoured soy milk to fruit punches! That is something mamma loves watching. The mamma thing also loves sipping them on her way back from the walks / jogs. The lady loves her own company, a lazy lunch with herself sitting in a cozy corner of the local food court, with her headphone on.... watching the people around.

There is one advantage of staying in a tropical country, we get those juicy, yum, healthy thirst quenchers; I meant  fresh fruits throughout the year. I find the pineapple, watermelon here too good, in fact all of the tropical fruits. Actually, in general fruits are of great quality here; Oh My! The varieties of oranges amazes me! I am too fond of the red beautiful watermelon, stands second after mango in my priority list! Litchi, Mango, Watermelon, Jackfruit, Custard Apple are all my favourite & the list continues! It is necessary to have fruits, for us diabetics in less frequency! We should eat more of ripe papaya, cucumber, dragon fruit! Both T & the son take fruits of their choice in their snack box!

The other day I got a pineapple to prepare a cold appetiser along with few other ingredients. The entire pineapple was not required obviously. It was then I thought of preparing a pineapple ice cream with the rest of it. Watermelon is always there at home, hence pampered ourselves with a pineapple ice cream topped with watermelon cubes. It was an absolute bliss. Let us prepare together an easy to do Pineapple Ice Cream with Watermelon.

INGREDIENTS :

Pineapple : I/2 of a standard size 
Pineapple[chopped] : 3tbsp
Fresh Cream : 300ml
Watermelon Pieces : A bowlful

Sugar : 1/2 small tea cup

Edible Yellow Food Colour : Few drops [Optional]

METHOD :

Peel, wash and chop the pineapple. Transfer the maximum of them to a grinder and grind to a paste. Put for boil adding the sugar & simmer for quite sometime!

After some 10-12 minutes of simmering, add the chopped  pineapple & edible colour to it, stir well & simmer for 4-5 minutes. 

Take down & let cool!

Once cool, add the fresh cream & whisk with a hand beater well!

Transfer to a covered container and freeze for few hours. I did nothing else to make it creamier!
