i was so excited when i saw the recipe in the 'Mind you body' section in the papers yesterday and tried out the recipe as soon as i got home from grocery shopping. It's not as creamy as the typical ice cream, but it's much healthier and you can adjust the sweetness of the ice cream to your preference ya. The only down side is the ice crystal formation during the freezing of the yoghurt ice cream. i think it's probably because i didn't stir sufficiently during the preparation step to break up the ice crystals ya.
For those who missed the recipe in the papers yesterday, here it is.
Christmas Pudding Yoghurt Ice cream
Ingredients
· ½ Cup dried or candied cherries (i added Phoon Huat candied mixed fruits)
· ½ Cup dried raisins
· ½ Cup green candied cherries
· 1 kg 99% fat-free unsweetened yoghurt
· 8 tbs white sugar
· 1 Cup cream (optional)
· Zest from orange (i added 1 teaspoon lemon paste extract instead)
· 1 tsp cinnamon powder & 1 tbs rum
Method:
- Chop all the dried fruits & leave aside. Place yoghurt, sugar & cream in a bowl and whisk the mixture thoroughly.
- Add cinnamon & rum to the bowl, whisk again. Add chopped fruit & stir using a spoon.
- Place bowl in frezzer for at least 1 hour in coldest section.(should be half-frozen by then). Stir mixture thoroughly using a spoon till smooth & light. Return bowl to freezer.
- After another hour, remove from freezer and stir again to break up ice crystals for smoother texture. Cover and return to freezer to serve as & when needed.
- Bring out 15 mins before serving to allow youghurt to soften a little before scooping out. Ganish with toasted almonds before serving.
You can actually add some mango essence and mango cubes to make a mango flavoured yoghurt ice cream too ya~ Enjoy~
