For more than fortnight, the weather has been hot, hot, hot. The temperature reached 29C or more in some places.
So we need to cool down. I have taken to making my own ice-cream using yogurt. I got this from my Weight-Watchers’ group. The group uses banana for this. You know, I find banana the least interesting of all tropical fruits. However it is one of the cheapest tropical fruits and is easily available. I can say that not because I am haughty, but I come from the tropics.
Yogurt and Fruit Ice-Cream
This ice-cream is very easy to make. All you need are:
Zero fat yogurt
Fruit of your choice – I have used mango and melon.
As I buy a lot of fruits, I do have excess. I will cut the fruits and freeze them.
- To make the ice-cream, remove the frozen fruits from the freezer and let it stand for about 10 to 20 minutes to soften a bit.
- Tip the fruits into a chopper or blender ( a stick blender works fine).
- Add in some yogurt. You can add more yogurt if you fancy . It is all up to your liking
- You can also add in some stevia sweetener or any sweetener of your choice.
- Blitz until the fruits are chopped up and blended.
- Dish out on a serving dish and garnish with fruits of your choice.
You can add in some chocolate sauce or choc shot for some extra points. I also use some of my homemade pineapple jam for an extra one point.
Then sit back back and enjoy. And chill out.
Here are some photos of the ice-cream.
Here is the mango version.
P.S.
You can freeze them if you cannot finish eating all of it in one go. Just remember to take it out for a while to let it soften before serving.
