BERRY FROZEN YOGHURT.

250g strawberries, hulled and quarted.

250 g blueberries.

300g gluten-free Greek yoghurt, you can use unsweetened ½ cup sugar.

2tsp vodka or strawberry liqueur.

METHOD:

Begin this recipe a day ahead. In a bowl combine the strawberries, sugar and liqueur. Stir and leave aside to sit for approximately 30 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved.

Remove a couple of spoons of the strawberries and ¼ cup blueberries and set aside.

Place the remaining strawberries, the sugar mixture and blueberries into the blender and blend until smooth. Por the blended strawberries through a fine sleve to remove the strawberry seeds. Return the berry sauce to the blender with the yoghurt and blitz until smooth.

Pour the mixture into your ice-cream maker and process according to instructions. Pour into a suitable freezer container and swirl through the whole berries, which were previously set aside. Freeze for 6 to 12 hours until firm.

You could also use a mixture of raspberries or other berries to the same weight. If using frozen berries simply thaw on paper towel before blitzing in the blender.

Scoop it in your cup and enjoy the soft taste. 🙂
