For a fruit-flavored variety, incorporate the frozen mixed berries or unsweetened frozen fruit into the mixture, mashing them slightly if desired.

Using a handheld blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spoon the mixture into serving bowls or cups, cover, and place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.
