Ube frozen yogurt
Icy, tangy and lighter than ice cream: the ube frozen yogurt plays it fresh, with its pretty purple hue.
A yogurt, a little honey, and the freezer does the rest.
Tangy freshness
Frozen yogurt swaps cream for yogurt: lighter, fresher, slightly tangy.
That tang balances the sweetness of ube beautifully, bringing both colour and flavour. The result is a frozen dessert that's easier on the stomach than ice cream, perfect after a meal or as a refreshing snack.
The yogurt's acidity shifts the ube's colour towards a slightly pink purple, a natural gradient.

The whole Ice cream family
Ice cream, nice cream, ice lollies: all the frozen purple, one recipe after another.
The chef's touch
The secret to a creamy frozen yogurt: break up the crystals.
Without a machine, stir with a fork every 30 minutes as it sets: this stops big crystals forming and keeps a soft texture. A really thick Greek yogurt gives the smoothest result. Serve it fresh from the freezer, before it hardens too much.
Add a few fresh berries when serving: their tang extends the yogurt's freshness.
