Frozen| Plum Frozen Yogurt … low fat treat for Pinktober
“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October”
Nathaniel Hawthorne
HAPPY OCTOBER! Seems meaningless to even ask how we got to October so quick. Bat an eyelid and the month is gone. I associate October with Pinktober, a month laced in PINK to signify ‘Breast Cancer Awareness‘. I’ve tried to post pink in October year after year, at least a couple of posts, so am excited to begin October 2011 in a rather PINK way with this delicious low fat Plum Frozen Yogurt.It’s a result of the dieting diva suddenly kicking straight back into dieting mode after lying low for a month! That gave me reason enough to reach out for the last of the late summer stone fruit I had frozen in the beginning of September. The colour that the fruit offer when combined with dairy makes my heart sing PINK!!
A fitting way to begin October, and a rather refreshing delicious one too. If you still have late summer fruit hanging around, grab them, stone them, slice the fruit and freeze them. This is where the thermomix kicks in. It loves making ice creams and frozen yogurt out of frozen fruit. Just a matter of minutes and this addictive pink treat was done.The addition of vanilla sugar and kirsch give it that special flavour. It’s a refreshing and beautifully coloured low fat frozen treat; a nice end to preserved excess fruit of summer. I added kirsch in there thanks to a tip from Monsieur Lebovitzs kirsch post to use it to enhance flavours when using stone fruit. Just a tbsp is enough to lend this fro yo a special flavour, and keep it from freezing rock hard.You can see that summer is leaving us as the frozen yogurt didn’t immediately disappear into puddles this time. We are experiencing cool and pleasant mornings and evenings; the days aren’t too bad either. I love this time of the year. Its comfortable and enjoyable. The garden is buzzing with butterflies, bees, dragonflies and the flower beds look happy. I just got the gardener to sow herb seeds and had him pot chrysanthemum cuttings. Yes, the weather is great, and the pooch is happy. Coco spends her days chasing butterflies in the garden all day long. She even got stung by a bee, the poor thing!

My favorite flavor! That frozen yogurt must be delicious.
You have inspired me with this ‘Pink’ post to do my bit for the cause. And what a gorgeous healthy treat to start October with. Lovely color. Do you have that white Hibiscus plant at home Deeba?
What a beautiful start to October! I must make something in pink at least this year, your post an inspiration..Awaiting Mr.PAB’s pink birthday cake 🙂 The froyo looks gorgeous, how do you manage such perfect scoops always?
Happy Pink October, sweetie, and I was just thinking about this! You kicked it off with such a delicious treat! I want a thermomix or ice cream maker….or even a freezer so I can make this. Gorgeous and I so love plum! Beautiful it is as are your pics! And Coco has gotten so big!!!
Just gorgeous Deeba…and the photos aren’t half bad either! Love, love, love that color but I’ve loved both purple and pin since I was little. Proof that some things really don’t ever change!
I love those moulds. You must suggest, where I can buy such fabulous containers and props since I am visiting Delhi for Diwali.
The yogurt looks too beautiful to eat.
Oh my comment just evaporate in thin air. Here I go again.
I love you the moulds that you have used. Please let me know where I can get such lovely props and containers from . I am planning a trip to Delhi and would love to make the most of it.
Oh you are too kind Rylan. I absolutely love your cake art! It is amazing. I set my own yogurt so am not sure about a good vegan yogurt. Hope the plums in the fridge find a delicious end! Thanks for stopping by!
I love your dog soo much!! He’s soo cute really! And gorgeous! I loved your frozen yogurt, actually, I preffer yogurt than ice cream, they taste better to me.
What a lovely looking frozen yogurt! I tried making some myself, but was disappointed with the texture, and it froze into a rock. Just curious, did you freeze yours, or just eat it fresh, because I found that once frozen, it got ruined. Maybe the kirsch solved this problem.
*kisses* HH
my favorite month is going to be the Pinktober! your frozen yoghurt looks very delicious, i have to give it a try this weekend. or at the other. did you know that in Pinktober there will be 5 weekends? that is a very rare thing i guess. btw: coco is sooo cuuteeeee;) he needs to take care with the bees…
Looks delicious – and your photography, as usual, is to die for! Those pink flower buds look gorgeous next to your yogurt. And the pink collar on your pup is a sweet touch, too!
