Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream
This ice cream's high fruit content gives it a slight texture. It is best eaten when half-frozen. Any soft fruit can be used in this recipe, but you may wish to vary the amount of sugar. You will need a liquidiser.
Ingredients
- 6 oz golden granulated sugar
- Peeled rind of 1 lemon
- 1/4 pint water
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1/2 pint low-fat natural yoghurt
- 4 - 6 strawberries for decoration
Instructions
- Put the sugar, lemon rind and water into a small heavy-based pan over a low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Hull the strawberries, then puree them in a liquidiser. Strain in the sugar syrup and puree the mixture again. Pour into a bowl, add the yoghurt and mix well. Turn the mixture into a plastic container and freeze for about 2 hours.
- Spoon the mixture into the blender and puree. Return to the freezer for another 2 - 3 hours, then remove and puree again. Return to the freezer and freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer and leave to soften for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Spoon into small bowls and decorate with fresh strawberries.
