Frozen apricot and honey yoghurt

Serves:

3 cups

Ingredients

• 400g ripe apricots, halved
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 5ml (1 tsp ) vanilla extract
• 520g (2 cups) natural yoghurt
• honey to taste

Method

Sprinkle the apricots with sugar and vanilla and toss to combine. Set aside for about one hour and then blitz apricots in a food processor until a smooth paste.

Stir through the yogurt and add honey to taste (some apricots are quite tart so you might need a little more honey).

Churn the frozen yoghurt in an ice cream machine and then freeze, or pour into a plastic container and place in the freezer, after an hour, whisk the yoghurt to prevent ice crystals forming and repeat this process a few times.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• For a creamier finish you can use Greek yoghurt.
• If you don't have apricots you can use peaches or berries in their place.
• Sprinkling the fruit with sugar is called macerating and is an important step that releases the juices from the fruit.
