Do you witness those big steel containers holding fancy vibrant ice cream looking treats? Do not mistake it for ice creams, those are gelatos which are churned at a much slower rate and are denser than ice cream. Gelato is served at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream, so it won’t hurt your sensitive teeth as much. Besides, it is silkier, softer and tastier than your regular ice creams. Also, it is served with fewer calories than ice cream.

Frozen peaches crushed as a paste in a food processor with some strawberry icing on it will serve you better and healthier than an ice cream. Your teeth will thank you!
Sorbet

No yoghurt, no ice cream, no crushing needed. It can be easily prepared with mixing fruit and juice concentrate. Why watermelon? Well, because of its high water content. A sorbet recipe with such fruits is way better to savour upon. You can also have apple or pear sorbets. These fruits come with an added advantage of oral care benefits. So, try on.

A can full of coconut milk in a jar frozen and scraped in intervals make up for a delightful ice cream alternative. This one’s my personal favourite- it needs no labor, just a glass of milk plus a sweetener, some grated coconut to top it up. It is easy and it is so dang good. Try it for yourself and thank me!
