FRUITY FROZEN YOGURT

A low-calorie frozen dessert with yogurt and fruit

This refreshing and healthful dessert can be made with any of several types of fruit, such as bananas or strawberries, for a low calorie summer-time treat.

Ingredients

(Serves 6-8)

150 g sugar (or vary based on sweetness of fruit)
120 ml orange juice
500 g fruit, cut into pieces
10 ml lemon juice
250 g plain yogurt
2 egg whites

Procedure

Combine sugar and orange juice in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Whirl fruit and lemon juice in blender until fruit is pulp. Add yogurt, blending well. With motor running, add cooled orange juice mixture.
Pour into a 25-cm square flat pan and place in freezer for two hours or until mixture is frozen into a slush.
Break up mixture and put in mixer bowl. Beat until smooth, adding eggs one at a time. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Return to pan or freezer-proof dessert containers and freeze until firm, about one hour.

Notes

For very juicy fruit, such as raspberries or frozen fruit, the orange juice may be decreased in proportion to the amount of juice. Increase the lemon juice by 5 ml for each 30 ml the orange juice is decreased.

Rating

Time: 10 minutes preparation, 3 hours freezing.
