My father-in-law walks around with little Hershey's miniatures in his t-shirt pocket, snacking on them leisurely throughout the day. The man never puts on a pound. Do you know people like that?
I'm not one of those people, never was. My culinary adventures catch up with me from time to time. It's a never ending cycle of putting on the weight and then taking it off. Controlling my weight is my one true struggle in life. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining at all. I do consider myself lucky. A lot of people have bigger issues. It's just a never ending cycle.
Back on the saddle again, I'm here with some One Minute Berry Ice Cream from Jamie Oliver. Cool, fruity, creamy, and refreshing it's a tasty treat and also a bright spot in the dog days of summer. The whole family enjoyed it and ate it up in no time, but we all agreed that it was certainly not ice cream. I'm not slamming this dessert at all. We all loved it. It's just that I don't want to mislead anyone by thinking the texture is anything remotely close to ice cream. I feel more comfortable calling it frozen yogurt. That being said, I think it's a very tasty and sensible dessert that feels both decadent and satisfying.

One Minute Berry Ice Cream
Adapted from JamieOliver.com
Serves 4
• 1 x 500g pack of mixed frozen berries (I used frozen strawberries)
• 150g fresh blueberries (or strawberries in my case)
• 3–4 tablespoons runny honey
• 1 x 500g tub of natural yogurt
• a few sprigs of fresh mint
• optional: 4 small ice cream cornets
In advance: Put 4 small glasses in the freezer, or you can serve straight into ice cream cornets, if you prefer.When you're all set up and ready to go, get the glasses (if using) and the frozen berries out of the freezer. Divide the fresh blueberries between the glasses or cornets. Put the honey and yogurt and leaves from the sprigs of mint into the food processor and whiz, then add the frozen berries and whiz again until combined. Spoon the frozen yogurt over the fresh berries and serve.
