Blueberry Lavender Marble Frozen Yogurt

A perfect recipe to keep the summer fun going! September is the last month of the blueberry season in Quebec: it's time to enjoy it! This small local fruit is a perfect match for lavender: together, they offer a sweet and floral flavor that will not leave you indifferent!

Ingredients

Coulis

• 1 cup (250 mL) fresh blueberries
• 3 tbsp. (45 mL) maple syrup
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

Frozen yogurt

• 2.5 cups (625 mL) plain vegan yogurt
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh blueberries
• 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) maple syrup (or more, to taste)
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) Lavender Latte blend
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Vodka - Optional

Instruction

1. For the coulis
   1. In a saucepan, add blueberries and maple syrup.
   2. Cook for about 15 minutes over low to medium heat, stirring regularly and crushing the blueberries.
   3. Let cool to room temperature.
   4. Strain into a blender, adding lemon juice.

2. For the frozen yogurt
   1. In a blender, add yogurt, blueberries, vanilla extract, maple syrup, lavender latte and vodka (optional).
   2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
   3. Pour into an airtight container.
   4. Add the coulis all over the place and use a knife to mix it in, but don't overdo it. We want to see traces of the coulis, while still seeing the basic color of the yogurt.
   5. Cover and freeze for a few hours, until it is the consistency of frozen yogurt (4-5 hours).

3. Avant de servir, sortir du congélateur et laisser reposer à température ambiante (approximativement 15 minutes), il sera plus facile à servir !

 Notes

1. I used a vegan coconut milk yogurt, but you can make this recipe with the plain yogurt of your choice!
2. Adding a minimal amount of alcohol to your mixture is a trick used for frozen desserts: it helps keep the texture creamier. Since vodka contains 40% alcohol, it doesn't freeze! By adding just a tablespoon, its taste will go unnoticed. Don't like the idea? You can make the recipe without it.
