Food Processor Experiments
When I started making breakfast the other day and paused to break out the food processor, I decided I wanted to see what else it could do. Turns out, it’s a lot! Here are two very different recipes, which were super easy when using the food processor.
Peach Frozen Yogurt
1 10-oz bag frozen peaches
3 Tablespoons honey (or agave nectar)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1. Add ingredients to the food processor. Spin until creamy, about 5 minutes.
(This is what it will look like after only two minutes. It’s not done yet!)
(The right consistency for serving or freezing.)
2. Serve immediately or place in airtight freezer.
Homemade Herb Butter
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Ice water
Pinch of kosher salt
Herbs, finely chopped (I’m using fresh chives and parsley)
1. Pour heavy cream into food processor and put on high for two to four minutes.
2. The cream will start to separate into buttermilk and curds. Pour off the liquid that has separated.
3. Add 1/8 cup of ice water, pulse four times. Pour off remaining liquid. Repeat this step again once more. The butter will start to form into a large ball.
4. Place butter into strainer, gently pressing down to remove any excess liquid.
5. Place any desired herbs or seasonings into the food processor and finely chop. Add your strained butter to combine.
6. Serve the butter with anything and everything. Gluten free bread is shown here.
