I'm not going to lie, I love my sweets, but when it comes to making homemade things I really love the challenge of making something delicious, but also more nutritious and health conscious (without tasting like it). So, the challenge I have for this summer is to come up with the best tasting flavors of gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt that I can concoct and share them with you. Here's my first stab at frozen yogurt. I went with something a little unusual for me (normally I don't like watermelon flavored foods). This is really refreshing and tasty! I think the kids will really go for it too. I can't wait to try it with canteloupe.
Watermelon Frozen Yogurt
ingredients:
2 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup Fage 0% yogurt
1/3 cup sugar or honey (to taste really)
Squeeze of half a lime
1 Tbsp vodka
Chop the watermelon into chunks and remove any of the large white seeds if any. Add to blender and puree, then strain out the grainier pulp and discard. Using just the watermelon juice, blend it with the yogurt, lime juice and vodka. Add sugar a little at a time and blend. Taste and adjust as necessary. Once frozen it will taste less sweet so if it tastes just a tad bit too sweet it's probably about right. I add the vodka to keep it from freezing rock solid.
Add the mixture to the ice cream maker till frozen, about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
