I’ve recently been on a very big frozen dessert kick. That’s right, as the temperatures have dropped, I’m craving more ice cream and smoothies.
Before a month or so ago, I couldn’t really tell you the last time I bought ice cream. I picked up a pint for the Bananas Foster I made and fell in love all over again. I needed more ice cream in my life.
Since then I’ve topped … okay smothered … my ice cream in Hot Fudge and leftover Cranberry Sauce. Ice cream and I are new BFFs.
But sometimes I crave something lighter and healthier. Something that’s good for me. Since I recently worked with Almond Dream and Coconut Dream, I had a stockpile of it in my refrigerator and was inspired to make some frozen yogurt.
It’s not quite the same as the froyo you might get out, but it’s as good, if not better. Plus, this is super easy to make with no added sugar, and it’s gluten free, dairy free, and even vegan.
All you need is yogurt and some leftover cranberry sauce. If you don’t have that on hand, add some of your favorite jam. The flavors are endless.
So let’s turn up the heat and break out some of this Cranberry Swirl Frozen Yogurt!!
