Quick Blueberry Icecream

[louisagreen]

I made this the other night.  The recipe calls for 500g yogurt and 300 - 500g blueberries.  I used 500g.  I poured the yogurt into a plastic container and then froze it, so I could chop it up into ice cube sized pieces.
This was far too much for the TM - It actually stopped working -blade  got 'stuck' and that was that.  It wobbled all over the bench.  So I removed half the ingredients and did it in two batches.  It is really a nice recipe, very refreshing.  I used traditional greek yoghurt, so it definately had a yogurty taste.  (the recipe calls for vanilla flavour). 
But definately halve the recipe.

Thanks for that - it should be OK with that amount??  Did you freeze the blueberries too? 

Maybe freeze the blueberries and half of the yoghurt and then half liquid yoghurt.

I have done it before, but know I only used smaller amounts for 2 serves.

Yes thermomixer, I used a 500g packet frozen blueberries and I made sure the frozen yogurt was cut into cubes, no bigger than an ice cube.  It is a lot of volume, as you can imagine, so I have made a note on my recipe to do it in two batches.  It is a really lovely dessert.

One of the consultants may correct me, but I think they now recommend 2/3 frozen and 1/3 fluid (or 70% and 30%) so that you may be better to have some liquid yoghurt to add in to help it blend.

Someone who knows may be able to help us.

I made this last night with mango and milk frozen in icecube trays.  It worked well and was very delish. I was concerned about putting 500g of milk cubes in the Tm at once but it didn't have any problems.

I used 100g of fresh mango and 200g frozen mango with my cubes and a tin of passionfruit pulp with 500g of frozen milk cubes (and of course some sugar).

That's mostly correct Thermomixer. We use the 70/30 rule for sorbets etc. However you can use frozen fruits WITH some fluid - even if it's water. Use about 3 MC's of fluid and you'll learn to hear what your Thermomix is doing - if it's struggling add some more fluid until it starts moving around in a smooth swirl (if that makes sense)...
