Cherry Cacao Fro-Yo by Driscoll's
Our Cherry and Cacao Fro-yo is a delicious, yet healthier summer treat that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make!
The sweetness of the cherries with the smooth acidity of the yoghurt creates a perfectly balanced alternative to ice-cream.
You can even improvise with a cake or loaf tin to freeze in, so there’s no fancy equipment required and minimal prep.
All you need is freeze time!
Cherry Cacao Fro-Yo
• Put your loaf tin or cake tin into the freezer.
• In a medium bowl add your yoghurt, milk, sugar or stevia, vanilla and stir well.
• Chill in the freezer whilst you complete the next steps.
• Empty your cherries and brown sugar into a pan and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
• Stir in the juice of half a lemon and leave to cool.
• Remove the tin and yoghurt mix from the freezer and pour the yoghurt into the tin.
• Stir every 20-30 minutes and when it’s starting to thicken considerably, swirl through your cherry mix.
• Leave to freeze for at least 3-4 hours before serving
• Sprinkle your fro-yo with cacao nibs for a crunchy topping!
