You can freeze fruit ice not only in large tins, but also in miniature sections, usually lying in the refrigerator. The result should be cubes, which are then recommended to be added to cocktails or regular drinking water... By the way, if the ice cream was frozen without a wooden stick, then it should be served in a beautiful glass goblet, with a dessert spoon, and slightly melted. In addition, you can freeze fruits immediately in elegant glass containers, and then serve them along with cutlery.

It is necessary to insert a stick into the ice cream when the ice freezes a little, after which the delicacy is returned back to the freezer. By the way, you can speed up the freezing process if you pour the ingredients into small containers and put them in the refrigerator very low temperature... In this case, the cold working process will take twenty to thirty minutes.

You also need to pour the ice so that about half a centimeter remains free from the top edge of the glass. This space is necessary so that the substance that has increased in volume does not “overflow the banks”. It is worth mentioning that for the holiday you can freeze ice in well-sterilized children's play tins.

Do not store dessert in the freezer for long term- so its hardness will increase, and in the future the process of use will become more complicated.

It will be easy to remove ice cream from the mold if you place it for a couple of seconds in warm water... In the case when unprocessed fruits and berries are used for cooking, it is necessary to squeeze juice from them or transform them into puree immediately before creating ice cream. Add zest to fruit ice if you put it inside whole fruits or their slices, and also to form several layers.

In addition, iced tea or coffee can become one of the layers. Some cooks use granola or cereals as a top layer.
