Summer Treat: Blackberry Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

berry-frozen-yogurt010102

The summer berries are out in full force this year…in backyard gardens and at the grocery store.  And they’re so darned good and good for you, it makes me want to serve ‘em up in one form or another almost every day.  Last nnight I made a Mixed Berry Crumble by baking blueberries and rasperries in a pan with a little flour/brown sugar/butter mixture spinkled on top.  Delish!!  Tonight, I think I’ll try this treat.  The recipe was sent to me by the folks at Driscolls to celebrate National Berry Month (who knew??)  So grab a batch of organic berries and mix up this yummy summer dessert:

2 (16-ounce) cartons vanilla low fat yogurt

2 ½ cups Driscoll’s organic blackberries

½ cup light-colored corn syrup

¼ cup sugar

½ cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate (3 ounces)

In a blender container or food processor bowl, combine half of the yogurt, ½ cup of the berries, half of the corn syrup and half of the sugar.  Cover and blend or process until almost smooth. Pour mixture into ice cream freezer container.  Repeat.  Freeze mixture in an electric ice cream freezer according to manufacturer’s directions.  Remove dasher from freezer.  Add remaining 1½ cups berries and the chopped chocolate; stir to distribute.  Ripen*.

*Note:  To ripen frozen yogurt or ice cream, after stirring in berries and chocolate, cover top of freezer can with waxed paper or foil.  Plug hole in lid and replace lid. Pack outer freezer bucket with enough ice and rock salt to cover top of freezer can, using about 4 cups ice and 1 cup salt.  Ripen about 4 hours.

  2. Great recipe! We’re growing blackberries ourselves (naturally) so this will be on our To-Do List this coming weekend! Thanks also for the tips on how to ripen frozen yogurt; I never would have thought of that myself…
