Why I like this recipe!

I scream, you scream, all of us scream for probiotic ice cream!

Who doesn’t love a decadent, scrumptious dessert that additionally occurs to have a diet profit? That’s proper, this ice cream is made with probiotic-packed kefir. A fermented milk beverage, kefir has an identical tart style to yogurt however is thinner in consistency.

Creamier than milk, kefir makes a scrumptious addition to smoothies, salad dressings, pancakes, and also you guessed it, ice cream.

As a dietitian who focuses on intestine well being, I’m all about advocating for together with fermented meals within the food regimen. For one, they style scrumptious (IMHO) and two, they comprise probiotics, often known as “good intestine micro organism”, that have been proven to assist help a wholesome intestine microbiome.

Vitamin advantages apart, this ice cream is the one to make this summer season / early fall whereas peaches are in-season and bursting with taste.

Churn or no-churn, you determine! I prefer to churn my ice cream to get that soft-serve consistency and it helps make it creamier with the ultimate freeze. However you may simply simply pour the combination right into a bread pan and freeze it instantly; it could simply have a barely icier texture.

If you happen to’ve acquired little ones at house, this could be a actually enjoyable recipe to make as a household! My four-year-old liked serving to make this and thought it was so cool to see the liquid begin to thicken into ice cream within the ice cream maker.
