It depends what flavor you want: strawberry, blueberry or mango. Anything is possible, because you can cut the fruit into small pieces and put it along with water in the juicer. Then you pour the juice/drap in an ice cream form and put it in the freezer. After a few hours they are frozen and your ice creams are ready. In addition to a juicer, freezer and  forms you need about 600 grams of fruit and 125 ml of water.
