Sluttishly Easy: Emergency Raspberry Ice Cream

There are all sorts of emergencies which can befall a Domestic Slut as she goes about her day. There are cocktail emergencies (how can I possibly make a sidecar when I've run out of triple sec?). There are what-on-earth-do-I-wear emergencies (frequent and debilitating). And then there ice cream emergencies.

Ice cream emergencies generally seem to occur after a particularly tough day at work. I need ice cream, and I need it now.

This is why I always keep raspberries in my fridge. In fact, I'm a bit of a raspberry hoarder. Whenever I see some particularly nice (or bargainous) ones, I stock up. And then, when I'm in dire straits, I just whip up a batch of this lovely stuff.

You won't need an ice cream maker, but you will need a food processor or jug blender. If you don't fancy raspberry (or you're having a simultaneous cocktail AND ice cream emergency), why not try Michelle's Boozy Banana 'Ice Cream', which is equally cheaty.

Make it!

• Bung everything in a food processor or blender. Blend it until smooth.
