Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen raspberries (berry nice choice!)
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 6-ounce containers Greek-style coconut or soy yogurt (dairy-free delight)
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar or other dry sweetener
- 1/8 cup agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
Look at you, whipping up a frozen treat that’s both vegan and fabulous! With coconut or soy yogurt in the mix, this recipe is a sweet little hug for your taste buds without any moo-juice needed. Plus, those raspberries and agave are like a berry good team for a guilt-free indulgence! This delightful treat can be enjoyed as a quick and easy dessert, similar to the comforting experience of indulgent porridge that brings joy to your mornings.
How to Make It
Whipping up this Raspberry Frozen Yogurt is like hosting a little party in your blender—starting with 2 cups of frozen raspberries teaming up with 1 cup of warm water that’s been sweetened with 1/3 cup of coconut sugar and a splash (well, 1/8 cup) of agave nectar.
Give those berries and sweetened water a whirl until they’re all mixed up and singing in perfect harmony. If you’re feeling fancy—and who isn’t?—strain that mixture through a fine mesh sieve to ditch the crunchy raspberry seeds. It’s totally optional, but trust me, your tongue will thank you for the smooth, creamy vibe.
Now comes the fun remix: pour about half of that silky raspberry puree back into your blender and toss in 2 containers (6 ounces each) of Greek-style coconut or soy yogurt. This creamy base is a healthy option that adds protein and probiotics to your treat.
Blend it until it’s smoother than a jazz DJ on a Friday night. Pour this luscious blend back into the bowl with the rest of your raspberry goodness and stir in a tablespoon of Grand Marnier for that cheeky, grown-up twist.
Give it a good whisk until everything’s best friends, then immerse yourself! This frozen treat is the kind of guilt-free indulgence that makes plant-based living feel like a celebration, not a chore.
Bonus Tips
- Swap the Grand Marnier for a splash of orange juice if you want to keep it all plant-based and still fancy—cheers to fruity improv!
- Toss in a handful of fresh mint leaves before blending for a zing that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.
- Freeze leftover yogurt in ice cube trays for instant mini froyo bites—because bite-sized bliss is always a good idea.
