Frozen Dessert | Strawberry Quark Ice Cream … have a refreshing Easter! #icecream #froyo #healthy #frozen #summer
“Ice cream is happiness condensed.” Jessi Lane Adams
Strawberry Quark Ice Cream … what a wonderful way to celebrate summer. I made this a week ago to use up the bags of strawberries I had frozen just before we left for Srinagar. I had frozen some left over quark as well and it worked wonderfully in this ice cream. So delicious that I had made several batches since, with plans to make more! 
Srinagar was STUNNING! From near zero temperatures and sweet fragrant Kashmiri tea ‘kahwa’, from natural beauty that would blow your mind away, a city as beautiful as no city I have seen before, a people so hospitable. From ‘paradise on earth’ as it is so rightly called, we landed in Delhi in sweltering heat. IT WAS HOT!! 
It’s truly summer in the plains of North India, though we had some mild respite by way of thundershowers yesterday. Still at 40C and counting, it’s promises to be a sizzling season ahead. For times like this, what can be better than a refreshing and beautifully coloured ice cream. 
We don’t grow blueberries or raspberries locally here, but I bet this will make a wonderful ice cream paired with any juicy seasonal berry. This was the first time I used brown mineral sugar in an ice cream paired with fruit. One spoon and another later, I wondered why I had never done it before? I went on to lick the bowl clean…and knew I had a winner here! 
HAPPY EASTER!

I think you’ve got to go through their dealer at Vespa Appliances, Nehru Place. You could contact TM India on Fb – https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thermomix-India/141282105923054
