Frosty, fruity and full of flavor, this pretty iced treat from Elizabeth Montgomery in Allston, Massachusetts, is sure to melt any resistance to dessert! “It’s a nice ice-cream substitute for lactose-intolerant friends and family,“ she notes. And with only 5 ingredients, it couldn’t be easier.

Ingredients

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
3 cups apricot nectar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in apricot nectar, corn syrup and lemon juice.
Pour into a shallow dish. Cover and freeze 2-3 hours or until firm.
Spoon into a large chilled metal bowl; beat 1-2 minutes or until light and creamy. Return to shallow container. Cover and freeze until firm.
