Greek Yoghurt Fruit & Nut Ice cream

 I love yoghurt ice cream. In The Netherlands we get lot of ice creams but the frozen yoghurt ice cream I had in Mykonos, Greece continues to be my favourite in terms of texture and taste so today I am going to teach you how to make shards given that most will not have an ice cream maker at home. This recipe is flexible. You can make this into a jam and nut treat or substitute the fruits I have used with fruits you have like figs or kiwi. I try and keep the sweetness quotient down but you can easily add more honey if you want to make this into a purely nut dessert. It's really about creating something that suits your tastebuds so have a great time making this dessert!

Here's what you need -

2 teacups Greek Yoghurt
1 tablespoon honey (I use Thyme-flavoured that I get locally from my farmer)
1 teaspoon chopped cashewnuts
1 teaspoon chopped shelled pistachio nuts/peeled almonds
8-10 raspberries/blueberries/strawberries
I generally mix up the above chop them into fine pieces and use them
1/2 teaspoon apricot/fig/strawberry jam

Method
Mix the honey and yoghurt well.

Smear the yoghurt on a parchment sheet that has been laid out on a freezer proof plate.

Keep the smear thick.

Add a drop of jam and swirl it around or simply put tiny drops all over the spread yoghurt. I used an Italian fig preserve.

Now carefully add the chopped nuts on top, pressing them in slightly.

Follow it up with  the fruits of your choice.

Now carefully keep this plate/tray in the freezer for 4.5 hours.

After 4.5 hours take out the plate, use a spoon to crack the now frozen smeared yoghurt.

 Peel out the shards carefully and keep individual pieces between parchment paper.

Store in a box in the freezer and eat when you want.

Tastes great on its own!
