Notes on ingredients for Frozen Yoghurt Dessert with Strawberry, Coconut and Chocolate

Chocolate

For this delicious chocolate gluten-free frozen yoghurt treat. I prefer chocolate with a cocoa content of 70%, which means 70% of the chocolate is made from ingredients found in the cocoa bean. The remaining 30% will consist of other ingredients, such as sugar, predominantly but may also include, for example, tiny percentages of vanilla flavouring. The higher the percentage, the stronger the cocoa flavour, which means it will be more bitter and less sweet.

 Use whatever chocolate you find palatable. Sometimes I will use 70/80% in my cooking and add a little extra sweetener like honey/agave/maple syrup. Dark chocolate is almost always dairy-free unless it’s a cheap brand, where they will add crappy fillers. My fave brands to eat and use in cooking are ( also allergy friendly)

• Ombar - Click here for more info - buy this online at Waitrose or health food shops.

• Raw chocolate - Click here for more information.

• Plamil chocolate - Click here for more info

  If you have a soy allergy, always choose raw chocolate, as this will not have any soy ingredients added. (Always check on the label, though.)

Yoghurt

The yoghurt I used for these delicious dairy-free frozen yoghurt desserts is by Coconut Collaborative. It’s a great brand and doesn’t contain soy and has minimal chemical ingredients, which I love!

Strawberries

I picked the strawberries from our local pick-your-own farm. I do this when they are in season in the UK summertime. If possible, try to source them locally and organically; if affordable, they do taste so much better. Swap for frozen strawberries if you prefer, or use raspberries instead. In fact, any type of berry would be good to use for this dairy-free frozen yoghurt dessert.

Honey/sweetener

For these No-bake frozen yoghurt desserts with strawberries and coconut, feel free to swap the honey for agave if this recipe needs to be vegan.

Linseeds

Flaxseeds are another name for these seeds. Chia seeds work too, but I prefer flaxseeds when making gluten-free frozen yoghurt treats. Flaxseeds create the same thick, gel-like texture as chia seeds but keep the jam looking lighter without the dark specks you get from chia.

FAQ’s

Do I need to let these Dairy-free frozen yoghurt desserts thaw before eating?

Frozen yoghurt contains a healthy dose of vitamins, including vitamin C, and minerals that help to keep you healthy, along with allowing good gut health as well. I love desserts and sweet treats that are healthy!

Is frozen yoghurt as unhealthy as ice cream?

Step by step

Recipe

Strawberry jam

• 350 g strawberries hulled

• 2 tbsp honey/agave/maple syrup

• 2 tbsp linseeds

• 2 x bars green & blacks chocolate

• 1.5 x 350g pots of coconut collaborative yoghurt ( or a similar plant-based yoghurt)

• coconut & freeze-dried strawberries for decoration

Method

1. Line your dariole moulds or whatever dishes you are using with cling film and set aside.

2. Place all the jam ingredients into a saucepan. If using fresh strawberries add a splash of water approx 25ml to the pan. and simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes, Then simmer for a further 10 minutes with the lid off. Once ready leave to one side with the lid on until cool enough to blitz in a Nutri bullet or similar.

3. Once the jam has cooled, place a tablespoon of coconut yoghurt and alternate with the strawberry jam until you have filled the dish you are using. Then, pop it into the freezer for a couple of hours until it's set solid.

4. Once the yoghurt has set melt the chocolate over the bain marie. Or in a microwave.

5. Once the yoghurt has become solid, unwrap it from the cling film and spoon over the melted chocolate. Sprinkle over the decoration quickly before the chocolate sets, and then pop back in the freezer till you're ready to serve.

6. Take the frozen yoghurt out of the freezer at least an hour before serving so it softens a little, otherwise it will be too solid to eat.
