Treats for Ice Cream Junkies

I'm an Ice Cream Junkie. Summer is just so perfect for Ice Cream. And I've been partaking WAY too much. I'm trying hard to convince myself that Italian ices are just as good (probably more sugar than ice cream but less fat I'm sure) and the new Edie’s "Grand Light Slow Churned" ice cream is goooood! (just 140 cals per serving I think, but the problem is you have to have the whole tub in the house!). I've discovered the following little treat that is soooo good and soooo easy. Anyone else have an ice cream replacement treat they'd like to share??

Melon Garnita

1 REALLY ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon (and I mean really ripe) (I also added a slpash of homemade ginger simple syrup)

Seed and coarsely chop melon

Place melon in blender and whirl till it liquefies (you'll have to do this in stages, I ended up mashing the remaining bits with a potato masher)

Place in a deep flat container and put in freezer

About every half hour, pull it out and scrape it with a fork. You want to get really nice small crystals like shaved ice. Should take about 3 to 4 hours to freeze completely. Scrap a serving and enjoy!
