Darina Allen: Homemade frozen treats

I adore homemade ice creams, sorbets and granitas, the latter is a granular version of a sorbet or water ice, so no cream and the ice is whisked while freezing or grated when frozen to produce a more granular texture.

Of course one can buy a Whippie or a 99 (why was it called that?) with a million different scary toppings and drizzles but it bears as much resemblance to homemade ice cream as mayo does to the well-known brand and probably has a similar number of additives.

Check out Joanna Blythman’s book Swallow This if you want the exact details.
