I still have more yogurt left and I'm really excited about this creation. If you read my blog often enough you'll know I love tea, ice cream and cupcakes! I made some fruit puree to fold into the yogurt and cream. I think it has a great slightly sweet but also tangy flavor.
I've always wanted to make my own ice cream but 1. I don't have an ice cream maker and 2. Alex can't eat ice cream. Since there's loads of granola bars leftover for him and I'm experimenting with all this yogurt I thought I would give it a go. This is adapted from a recipe on the Total site.
Strawberry and Lime Frozen Greek Yogurt
Ingredients
300ml whipping cream
300g of TOTAL Greek yogurt
1 punnet of strawberries
lime juice added to taste
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of water
1. Wash and chop the strawberries. In a small pot cook the strawberries and water over medium heat, covered, stirring once or twice until soft. About 10 minutes. If you want a smoother fruit mixture blitz in a blender for a few seconds. Stir in the sugar and lime juice and set aside to cool completely.
2. In a large bowl whisk the whisk the whipping cream for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
3. Gently fold in the yogurt into the whipped cream and then gently fold in the strawberry mixture. Don't over mix. The yogurt will have strawberry "ribbons".

4. Pour into a container that is flat (not round like a bowl) and place in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours.
5. Scoop and serve! If you can remember keep a few berries reserved on the side to put on top. Can also be served chilled as a nice mousse.
A little melted but very good!
