It still boggles my mind that so much fresh flavor is possible from a couple cans of fruit, a splash of cream, and a squeeze of lime. When Alberston’s and Safeway asked me if I’d like to create a new recipe for the “Cans Get You Cooking” project, I jumped at the chance to play with some foods that were already in our pantry.
I love keeping a well-stocked pantry because it makes spur of the moment cooking and baking possible. I couldn’t resist the canned mangoes last time I was picking up canned pineapple and I picked up a couple cans to try. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors from the mango and pineapple combined with just enough cream added to make it a little bit rich and still keep it light. A twist of lime brightens the flavors and a pinch of salt enhances them nicely. The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here! Disclosure: I’ve partnered with Albertsons & Safeway to share this recipe with you. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Barefeet In The Kitchen possible. As always, all thoughts are my own.
