A cool flavorful delight for sweltering hot nights! Frist let me apologize as my photo does not show how light a fluffy this turns. This is such a refreshing dessert and the texture is turned out just the way you described light and fluffy. Made using Splenda and the food processor method, the secret is only to process only small batches a time. Thanks so much for the post, will be making again.

This tasted great and a plus is that it is also healthy. The kids and adults all loved it. I refrigerated the puree overnight and then used my ice cream maker and it came out wonderful. Everyone asked when I was making it again...thanks!
