Bridget’s Weekly Running Recipe- Week 12

Frozen Yogurt with Strawberries & Lime

You will need

Muffin papers
1½ cups non-fat yogurt
½ cup low fat sour cream
5 Tbsp honey
¼ vanilla bean scraped or a splash of vanilla extract
½ cup strawberries, thinly sliced
zest from ½ lime

In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, honey and vanilla.  Set up four muffin papers in a muffin pan. Fill each muffin paper ¾ of the way up and place in the freezer for about 1 ½ hours or until firm to the touch.  In a small bowl combine the sliced strawberries, honey and lime zest, set aside at room temperature. This will allow the juices from the strawberries to be released giving you a syrupy sauce.  When ready to serve gently unmold the yogurt and invert into a bowl.  Spoon the strawberries over the yogurt and serve.

I conspired this recipe with Emily Newmark, one of the wonderful line cooks at the restaurant. She suggests trying agave nectar as a replacement for the honey. You can keep these in the freezer for up to a week but let them sit at room temperature for 5 – 8 minute to soften.
