Quick Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Food

BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Pick through your blueberries and discard any bad berries, stems or debris. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
• Optional step: For a smooth consistency, strain the mixture through a fine mesh colander into a bowl. Mash the blueberries with the back of a large spoon in order to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the mashed blueberries.
• Refrigerate the blueberry mixture until it is totally and completely chilled. You can speed up this process by placing it in the freezer, stirring every 10 minutes or so, for about 45 minutes.
• Mix together your chilled blueberry mixture and chilled yogurt, then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to your manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours for a scoopable consistency.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. You can eat this straight away like a soft serve.
• If you want frozen yogurt you can scoop up like ice cream, chill the entire bowl in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes. DO NOT leave the frozen yogurt in the freezer any longer as it will freeze into a large brick.

BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• A full 24 hours before you make your frozen yogurt, place your ice cream insert into the freezer.
• Add the sugar, vanilla, blueberries and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat and stir well. Press the berries with the back of a wooden spoon so the berries burst. When the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat. Let cool then refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
• Add the chilled berry mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then add the yogurt and continue to blend until completely mixed.
• Turn your ice cream machine on and pour in the yogurt mixture. Churn until the mixture looks slushy, like soft serve, 12 to 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for several hours until it's scoopable.

BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Blend blueberries and milk in blender until blueberries are fully mixed.
• Strain blueberry milk to remove blueberry skin/seeds. I use cheesecloth, but a mesh strainer would work, too.
• Mix the blueberry milk, sugar, and yogurt together by using a hand mixer. Mix on medium for 1 - 2 minutes, until completely blended.
• Place in freezer for 20 minutes, then pour into ice cream machine and freeze according to its directions.
• This will be a soft serve yogurt when done. You can freeze it in your freezer for 2 hours if you want a firmer frozen yogurt.

BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup of the blueberries, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon honey and the thyme sprigs in a small heavy saucepan. Coarsely mash the blueberries using a fork or a potato masher. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the syrup cool slightly. Discard the thyme sprigs.
• Place the remaining blueberries, remaining 1/3 cup honey, yogurt, agave, lemon juice and cooled blueberry syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is almost smooth.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to a shallow glass baking dish, cover and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours. Using a fork, stir to blend. Continue to freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight. Using the tines of a fork, scrape the mixture into small serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately.

BLUEBERRY & YOGURT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Crumble graham crackers and Rice Krispies in a food chopper or food processor and whisk around until you have fine crumbs.
• Mix the graham mix and the remaining bottom layer ingredients together to form soft dough. I do this with a wooden spoon or bare hands. There is no need to get out a mixer for this.
• Firmly press the dough into a 9X13 pan. Completely cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Do not use a larger pan. You can use a smaller baking pan for a thicker bar.
• Mix all the top layer ingredients together, except the blueberries, mixing well. A wire whisk works well. Again, don't bother to get a mixer out.
• Gently mix in the blueberries.
• Pour the top layer mixture in the pan over the bottom layer. Make sure the blueberries are spread out evenly.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes.
• Chill completely before cutting and serving. Although it is difficult to wait so long, chilling overnight will give the custard plenty of time to set.
