Peaches & Almond Frozen Yoghurt

Stone fruit is in season in Australia right now and it is magnificent. Every time I visit a market the piles of peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums and peacherines look so good that I leave with bags filled with colourful fruit.

So when I decided to make a frozen yoghurt recipe for Amazing Almonds I didn’t have to look too far for inspiration.

This recipe — Peaches and Almond Frozen Yoghurt — is so simple yet so tasty. You simple stew some peaches and then mix them with Greek Yoghurt and rice malt syrup (a great, low GI sugar substitute). Leave the mixture to infuse for a couple of hours, drop in some flaked almonds and then bung it into the ice cream maker. Easy, right?

I used yellow peaches for this recipe as I prefer them to the white varieties – I find their flavour and fragrance stronger, and I just love their gorgeous orangey red skin. Using yellow peaches also results in a lovely peach coloured ice cream.

Now I don’t like my ice cream too sweet so I only used 1/3 cup of rice malt syrup. Those with a sweet tooth can increase this to a half cup.

Enjoy!
