This sounds like the easiest thing in the world but only if you know which fruits to use. Some, such as melons and pears, freeze too hard and aren’t pleasant to bite into while others turn to mush too quickly when they come out of the freezer. Others lose sweetness so don’t taste so good. The following all freeze well and are at their best when frozen for up to two hours.
Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled and cut into slices
- 1 papaya, peeled, deseeded and cut into pieces
- ¼ small watermelon, peeled and cut into triangles
- 2 limes juice
- bunch of green or purple seedless grapes
- handful of blueberries
How to Make It
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the mango, papaya and watermelon pieces in a bowl with the lime juice and toss well.
- Tip the fruit on the baking tray and add the grapes and blueberries. Put the tray in the freezer and open freeze the fruit for 1½–2 hours. You can eat the fruit immediately – the texture will be just right, as you will be able to bite through it comfortably.
- Alternatively, decant the frozen fruit into a bag and keep it in the freezer for an instant snack. Once you take the fruit out of the freezer, eat it soon, as the texture will disintegrate quickly when it starts defrosting.
