(Pictures will come next time I make it, I promise!)
I love this recipe to death, especially on hot New England Summer afternoons. I snatched it from Sarah Kramer's La Dolce Vegan (http://www.amazon.com/Dolce-Vegan-Livin-Made-Easy/dp/1551521873/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2358349-6050543?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185799912&sr=8-1), an awesome book with delicious recipes I dug up at Border's.
The recipes is, of coarse, Vegan, and calls for soy milk, but I'm only Vegetarian, so I just use skim milk. However, I bet this recipes is the BOMB with fat-free Vanilla soy milk (from 8th Continent; I love it on my cereal.).
[x] 2 cups Mixed Frozen Berries (Your Choice; I reccommend Raspberry.)
[x] 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, or other sweetener*
[x] 3/4- 1 cup "milk" (varies by desired consistency.)
Mix and blend together the frozen berries and sweetener in a food processor or blender. While the foodprocessor is running, add milk. (This can be tricky with a blender; foodprocessors should have a spout for adding this sort of thing. I suppose you could stop the blender, and it'll work. ) Add the milk slowly, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Serve immediatley, or place in freezer to harden (no more than an hour, or it'll be hard as a rock!)
*= Many vegans choose to abstain from refined sugar, because the filters it's sifted through are made from charred animal bone.
While I still drink milk, I practice this, and don't eat refined sugar at all. (I also refuse to eat eggs, but that's another story.)
