Pineapple frozen yoghurt

“Be a pineapple. Stand tall, wear a crown but be sweet on the inside” .

The last time I had frozen yoghurt, I think I wasn’t more than 12 years old . Without getting into specifics , lets just say that it was a long long time back :-P. It was a brand called TCBY (the country’s best yoghurt) which had a couple of outlets in Doha where I grew up. I still remember how yummy and creamy it was ! And half the time , I don’t remember what date it is .Thats how obsessed with food I am!

 For whatever strange reason , I have never had frozen yoghurt since. I honestly didn’t realise how easy it is to make it at home. It takes some pre planning and chilling time , but the actual active effort is next to none !
 
Its cool and creamy and the pineapple keeps it from getting cloyingly sweet . Whats better is that its made from fruit , yoghurt and honey . So it won’t make that big a dent in your diet plan ( if unlike me , you have one !) . I was a little bummed with the light colour , so next time I shall use riper fruit!

I found this recipe on Gemma Stafford’s site where she has a wide array of homemade ice-cream and frozen yoghurts. You must check it out. Lot of options for some summer feasting!

 

 

 

This is a great dessert option given the soaring temperatures . Its slightly icy when you get it out of freezer , but a few minutes out and its perfectly scoopable and yum! Fruity, light and guilt free. A diet friendly, delicious chilled dessert. Just what the summer ordered!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 6 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 280 grams or 2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 60 grams or 1/4 cup yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Chop up the pineapple into chunks . Freeze for few hours or overnight.
  • Blend together the frozen pineapple chunks , yoghurt , honey and lemon juice in a food processor or blender.
  • Blend / process until smooth and there are no chunks left. This will take 3-4 minutes in a food processor.
  • Transfer into a freezer friendly container (with lid) and freeze 6 hours or longer.

Notes

Also:
  • For the best flavour and texture , use good quality fruit . You can also use frozen pineapple instead of fresh
  • This can be stored in the freezer for 2 months or longer.
  • Add two tablespoons of toasted coconut into the blended mixture for a textural contrast like Gemma does.
  • The sweetness depends on the the fruit and yoghurt you use. Once you blend , taste and add more sugar / honey as you need. Do not skip the 2 tablespoon honey as it helps keep the consistency non-icy.
  • The thicker the yoghurt you use , the smoother the end result. Greek yoghurt works well.

    1. Yes Anjali… you can drain the pineapple, freeze and follow the recipe. Since canned pineapple is usually sweeter, you can adjust sugar accordingly.
