From Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight! (Simon & Schuster), About.com Guest

Combine the health benefits of green tea with the exotic sweetness of mangos and you have a tasty Weight Watchers recipe that everyone will love. No ice cream machine necessary, but you will need a food processor or heavy-duty blender.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup loose green tea leaves
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 ripe mangoes
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation:

Combine water and tea leaves in a saucepan. Bring just to a boil, remove from heat and let steep 5 minutes. Strain, discarding the leaves. (Do not press leaves to extract liquid, this makes the liquid bitter.) Return tea to clean saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool about 30 minutes.

Peel mangos and cut fruit from pit. In a food processor or blender, puree mangos with lemon juice. Add tea and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass 9-inch baking dish and freeze about 3 hours.

Transfer mango mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve at once or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Soften 10 minutes before serving.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
