“Ice cream cravings are not to be taken lightly.”

Betsy Cañas Garmon

Blogging about food is something entirely fulfilling, a world I can unwind in. It’s a different space altogether, where you don’t have to seek inspiration. It’s there in every post, on everyblog. One such blog is Canela’s Kitchen Recipes, which belongs to lovely Gloria, who blogs from Santiago, Chile. She makes great use of fruit & has a mind-boggling array of fruity compositions on her blog. Gloria’s post about Blueberries & Raspberry Ice-cream is the source of inspiration for this fro yo that I made. The colour of her ice-cream was enough to unnerve me, & set me thinking. I HAD to get that colour in my freezer, by hook or crook. No blueberries or raspberries here, but this tart Indian berry, phalsa, was the perfect answer to my craving. Made this beautifully coloured, sweet & tart frozen yogurt to give colour to my dreams. It was one delicious & refreshing ice-cream!

Discovering David Levobitz’s Strawberry Frozen Yogurt off Purple Foodies blog was the best thing that happened to me this Spring. The Strawberry Frozen Yogurt was more ice-cream / less yogurt, & very very worth every lick of the spatula while making it! The recipe offers a perfect balance of sweetness, a little tanginess, & total satisfaction … all without the guilt of ‘fatty’ calories.A treat of this sort, with the goodness of berries, is more than I could have asked for. Going a step further now, as strawberries are out of season now, I decided to experiment with phalsas or Indian berries called ‘grewia asiatica’.
