More Kefir Creations...

After reading about the numerous health benefits of Kefir, I have been looking for ways of incorporating it into my diet. You all know I am an ice cream fanatic. Naturally, that's where my brain went. You can make ice cream from coconut milk and frozen yogurt from coconut milk yogurt. Why couldn't I make something "ice cream like" with Kefir. The resulting dessert tasted more like a sorbet than a frozen yogurt or ice cream. It was, ans is, delectable. Tangy and sweet, this frozen dessert is sure to become a healthy household favorite!

Strawberry Kefir "Sorbet"


Ingredients:

- 30 oz. Vanilla Coconut Milk Kefir
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Xanthum Gum
- 10 oz. frozen Strawberries, defrosted

Combine ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Transfer to your ice cream maker and process about 30 minutes.
Serve as soft serve or transfer to a freezer safe container and allow to harden further.

GF Guy had 2 bowls! I think that should count as a golden seal of approval! The name, however, needs work. Does anyone have a better name idea? I originally called it Strawberry Kefir-Cream, but nixed that for obvious reasons.

Daily dose of Dickens time! GF Guy and I have been working looong days, so Dickens has been going to his Great Grandparents' house. He loves the car rides!

He is such a little man!
Have a fabulous Monday, everyone!
