Ice cream recipes

Strawberry parfait 
Mine is not exactly ice cream, It's rather parfait.

Beat (1 cup of cut strawberries, 1 cup of whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of sugar) x as many batches as you want in the blender. Keep in the freezer in small batches and than thaw as needed in the refrigerator. Light and not too sweet dessert.

Three-minute Ice Cream 
from  Anne's Food (Stockholm, Sweden)
  
Banana & Mango "Ice Cream"
 from Cloudberry Dreams blog (Melbourne, Australia) 
4 large, ripe bananas
2 large ripe mangoes
If you’re after a super-creamy product, peel and roughly chop the bananas and mangoes (removing the stones from the mangoes) and freeze overnight in a container. Otherwise, simply peel roughly chop the fruit and use it fresh if you’d prefer a slightly more sorbet-like result.

Place fruit pieces in a food processor ( a blender would also do nicely) and process for around 2 minutes, or until completely smooth. The consistency of the mixture should resemble a thick soup...
  The rest of the recipe is in  Banana-Mango Ice Cream recipe entry
and requires some repetitive blending,freezing and defreezing. 
By the way, it's a vegan dessert.

DIET & DIETING
Since I'm totally convinced that whatever food you make yourself is much healthier than processed foods you buy in the store, I believe that any of the above desserts are healthy and good for your diet. Unlike dieting which is typically not good for you. Eating good foods is a better way to become or stay well and fit than not eating particular foods.
