I made this a really long time ago and was so surprised by how refreshing frozen cucumber can be. You can de-seed it if you wish but by the time you blitz it for a long time, you will find the texture is pretty smooth. This recipe is perfect on a hot summers day as more of a slushie (just add gin or lemonade!!) and of course it is really great as a palate cleanser between courses at a fancy shmancy dinner party.
Easy, with a bit of thought ahead of time, and completely simple. As our summer just keeps going and going in my part of the world, this is a welcome addition to my usual ice cream range! (Did you join The Whole Scoop yet??) I hope you love it!
