Lychee Ice

Lychee Ice

I made this little number this evening after dinner and it was well received by all.  I had intended to make sorbet but thought I would omit the egg white.  I was feeling all inspired by hearing about some other people receiving new Thermomixes, sorbet being the big winner with new owners. This had a thick, icy-slush consistency and was super refreshing.  I'm thinking next time I would add the egg white and maybe replace one trays of the ice with a tray of frozen coconut milk.  Think how nice that would be with a mango puree or a fresh passionfruit scooped over it? 

Here's the what and how;

1 x 400g tin of lychees drained, reserve juice
100g icing sugar
3 trays of ice

Measure 100g of icing into the TM bowl or make your own by measuring in raw sugar and grinding for 10 seconds on speed 10.  Measure in the drained fruit, mine ended up being about 300g to which I added 40g juice.  Blitz for 30 seconds on speed 10.

Add two trays of the ice and with the help of the spatula through the hole grind for 40-60 seconds.  I tend to check through the hole to see how it all looks.  Add the third tray of ice and go again.

Yours in simple sweetness,
