Look how beautiful London is in the sunshine...
It's not quite summer yet, but it sure feels like it is well on its way. What better way to celebrate the sunshine, and to get over the over-indulgences of Easter, than to whip up this instant, healthy, fruity, frozen yoghurt?
How many times have you bought fresh berries in the supermarket, and then not eaten them quite quickly enough? This has happened to me on so many occasions - not only does this not fit with the ethos of this blog, but berries are blooming expensive.
So how to stop this travesty (not a drama queen at all)? Buy frozen berries! They are actually relatively cheap (I bought mine from Sainsbury's basics range - £1.30 for 400g), and obviously keep for a really long time.
Again this makes use of my trusty hand processor, as well as some left over yoghurt. This would work with most flavours of yoghurt, and turns a simple pot of yoghurt into a more impressive and delicious summer dessert. It is so so so easy too!
250-300g yoghurt (plain or fruit)
Roughly 150g mixed frozen berries
Handful of fresh berries (if you have them)
Couple of sprigs of mint
There are pretty much four steps to this...
Pop the yoghurt and frozen berries into the processor.
Whizz up until the berries are incorporated into it, and it takes on a frozen-ish consistency. It wont be quite like ice cream, but it will be more solid than normal yoghurt. INSTANT FROZEN YOGHURT!
Spoon into glasses and serve with a handful of berries and some mint sprigs.
EAT.
(A secret fifth step is that if you don't need it straight away, or don't have quite enough frozen berries, then just pop it in the freezer and take out when you need it. Give it about five minutes out of the freezer if you do this, otherwise it will be colder than a penguin's belly button).
Just look at this beauty...
