As it is summer, I thought we should go with a seasonal ingredient, and at the moment we are enjoying plenty of lovely fresh stonefruit.
Earlier this week Mum made us a summer fruit tart for dessert when we visited them for dinner. I got a copy of the recipe, and so for dessert last night I made this with the addition of a few ground almonds to the cake batter. For fruit I used blueberries, peaches and black doris plums.I also made vanilla and black doris plum frozen yoghurt from a recipe I found online. I used the juice from half a lemon instead of adding the cinnamon, as I was after a fairly sharp clean flavour.
The cake and the frozen yoghurt were both great, and went down very well with our visitors. The yoghurt tasted very sweet before being frozen but once frozen had plenty of tang and freshness to it. I would definitely do both again, and will probably use the same frozen yoghurt recipe again soon with different fruit. I want to make peach frozen yoghurt when the black boy peaches are in season as I think the idea of a purple yoghurt that tastes like peach is quite intriguing.
