STRAWBERRY AND MINT ICED YOGURT

Ingredients

METRIC/US

450 g/1 lb strawberries (I used Sweet Eve)

1 tbsp lemon juice

Splenda granulated sweetener (or your own favourite sweetener to taste)

250 g/8 oz plain fat-free yogurt

2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

METHOD

1.  Slice the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a pan with the lemon juice and sweetener. Warm gently, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Mash the strawberries with the back of the spoon as the mixture warms and the sweetener dissolves. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to cool.

2.  Mix the yogurt with the mint then add the cooled strawberry mixture. Spoon into an ice cream maker and mix until frozen or spoon into a freezer-proof container and freeze until firm.

3.  Serve the yogurt ice straight from the ice cream maker when frozen or spoon into a container and freeze until firm.

4.  If serving from the freezer, remove from freezer and leave to stand for about 30 minutes to soften for scooping. Serve plain or in cones if liked.
