Cherry Cacao Fro-Yo by Driscoll's

Our Cherry and Cacao Fro-yo is a delicious, yet healthier summer treat that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make!

The sweetness of the cherries with the smooth acidity of the yoghurt creates a perfectly balanced alternative to ice-cream.

You can even improvise with a cake or loaf tin to freeze in, so there’s no fancy equipment required and minimal prep.

All you need is freeze time!

Ingredients

Cherry Cacao Fro-Yo

  • • 175g cherries, de-stalked, pitted and roughly chopped
  • • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • • Juice of half a lemon
  • • 750g plant based yoghurt
  • • 125ml plant based milk
  • • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • • 30g sugar (this can also be substituted for the equivalent in stevia for an even healthier treat)
  • • 1-2 tbsp cacao nibs for sprinkling
  • • You will also need a small loaf tin or 7-8 inch cake tin

Method

Cherry Cacao Fro-Yo

• Put your loaf tin or cake tin into the freezer.
• In a medium bowl add your yoghurt, milk, sugar or stevia, vanilla and stir well.
• Chill in the freezer whilst you complete the next steps.
• Empty your cherries and brown sugar into a pan and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
• Stir in the juice of half a lemon and leave to cool.
• Remove the tin and yoghurt mix from the freezer and pour the yoghurt into the tin.
• Stir every 20-30 minutes and when it’s starting to thicken considerably, swirl through your cherry mix.
• Leave to freeze for at least 3-4 hours before serving
• Sprinkle your fro-yo with cacao nibs for a crunchy topping!
