Vegan raspberries, peaches and mint frozen yogurt (the perfect summer treat)

It's almost summer here in Europe and although the weather has been quite undecided we had a few proper summer days already. 😍 Cooking wise I am switching more and more to light, fresh recipes that do not require too much heat and processing.

I am already dreaming of those dips in the lake or pool at the end of a hot summer day but also to the refreshing treats to end the day with and if you have been reading my blog by now you might know that I am all in for everything that creates joy and it is low fat (especially saturated fat).

So if you are looking for a low fat vegan refreshing treat at the end of a hot summer day but also new ways to consume more berries then you are going to love this recipe.

List of ingredients for this refreshing raspberries and peaches vegan frozen yogurt

• 400 g Vegan soy yogurt
• 2 cups Frozen raspberries
• 2 cups Sliced frozen peaches from a jar
• 10 g Fresh mint
• 5 tbsp Maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp Vanilla paste

Guidelines

1. Make sure your raspberries and peaches are fully frozen. If fresh, freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Gently wash and dry the fresh mint leaves.
3. In a food processor add the soy vegan yogurt, frozen peaches, raspberries, mint, maple syrup and vanilla paste.
4. Mix all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula to ensure everything is well mixed.
5. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary to your taste by adding more maple syrup.
6. Add it to bowls or cups and enjoy.

If not consumed immediately transfer it to a freezer-safe container, cover it, and place it in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours.

To prevent ice crystals from forming and ensure a smooth ice cream texture mixt it every 30 minutes with a vertical blender.

One thing you need to keep in mind when adjusting for sweetness is that usually, cold frozen foods tend to numb your taste buds and ability to feel the sweet taste. That is why ice cream and frozen products require more sweetness in general. If you ever tasted melted ice cream, you probably realize its way sweeter than the original ice cream. So keep that in mind when adjusting for maple syrup or if you are wondering why I am using the quantity of maple syrup that I am using.
