Making Ice Cream with a food processor?

I just found this lovely little recipe from this site http://www.choosingraw.com/this-post-will-change-your-life/. Making banana soft serve. But what would happen if I only used frozen strawberries?? Would they produce the same texture?? I see some recipes on the web for frozen strawberries combining them with milk and other ingredients, but would JUST using frozen strawberries produce a tasty result??? Or would it be bland??
I am not looking for a way to make strawberry ice cream. I don’t want dairy or anythign like that in it. Just wanted to know the answer to my question in the details section.

A fast way to make delicious ice cream in a food processor or blender. Use any frozen fruit in place of the strawberries.

Ingredients
300g frozen strawberries, or any frozen fruit
125g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
150ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream

Preparation method
Combine the frozen strawberries and sugar in a food processor or blender. Process until the fruit is roughly chopped.
With the processor running, slowly pour in the cream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately, or freeze for up to one week.

Would this cheesecake recipe work? HELP!?

I came up with a cheescake recipe, and I’m wondering if it would a) turn out, and b) taste good. Can you give me your opinion? Are there any changes I need to make?

1) 8 oz Ricotta cheese
2) 8 oz. Fat free cream cheese
3) 1/2 cup Cottage cheese (blended in food processor to reduce lumps)
4) 1/2 cup Sour cream
5) 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
6) 1 Egg + 4 Egg whites
7) 1/2 cup sugar
CRUST: 2 tablespoons butter + 3/4 cup grahm cracker crumbs

1. Preheat to 350 and mix butter and crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 10-15 minutes until crust is cooked.
2. Beat cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy. Add cottage cheese, sour cream and blend. Add in egg, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla. Blend some more, until incorporated.
3. Pour in pie plate and bake for 50 minutes. Cool it for an hour, and chill for 4 hours.

I would try it out first myself and then see how it comes out. With the ingredients you listed, I wouldn’t see a problem. Its trial and error really.

food processor pie crust butter

Can I make pumpkin pie crust without using a food processor?

Last time I used my $45 blender and ended up making a massive mess. The butter ended up caking to the bottom and freezing the thing up… very frustrating!

Now I’m making it again and I used the whisk on my kitchenaid stand mixer (even though I know I’m not supposed to but what was I to do?) and my “dough” was really crumbly and didn’t stick together very well. I stuck it in the fridge to cool anyways, and so here I wait.

Have I set myself up for UN-success?

I don’t use an electric tool for making pie crust. I just cut the butter into the flour mix using a fork.
