Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

Leave a comment

Ohhhh Blueberries i love you. I must admit, when i was a kid i hated fruit. But now that i am an adult i love it. Maybe it is because almost all my desserts are made with it!! Or maybe its because i finally have found an excuse to eat frozen yogurt and ice-cream more often. When making Frozen Yogurt i often choose one with a fruit base, and this is certainly one of my favorites. Plus it’s super easy to make and is so healthy for you its very hard for my guests to say NO to even if on a diet. Because once i tell them whats in it and that Blueberries are the King of Antioxidants, which are packed full of fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and more there sold. And for me its more than enough reasons alone to eat this every night.

 

Kitchen Essentials:

 

To make 2 quarts of Blueberry Frozen Yogurt:

  1. Add your frozen blueberries to your food processor, pulse till blended.
  2. Now lets make the frozen yogurt base, start by adding your cold yogurt, milk, condensed milk, lime juice and blueberries into a large bowl and mix with a spatula till blended.
  3. Once your mixture is blended, pour the mixture into your frozen Cuisinart maker and process for 25 minutes or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Now comes the fun part, grab a large plastic container will a lid (you will be using this to freeze your frozen yogurt in) after letting it sit for 30 mins in the (Cuisinart machine which makes it easier to remove) then you can start by pouring all of your frozen yogurt mixture in your container.
  5. Freeze for 2 hours and serve.
  6. Before scooping, enjoy!

If you don’t have an Cuisinart frozen yogurt maker, check this post out

Note: Set outside the freezer 10-20 minutes prior to scooping.

Rustic Cherry (Galette) pie

Leave a comment

I absolutely love cherries and come summer when they are in season and ripe, I like to eat them by the dozen. I’m always finding new ways to cook with them too, however if it’s not summer you can always buy them pre pitted and frozen in your local grocer and make this type of gallette at home.

If you have never made a galette which is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes.

Then you are in for a treat, this pie is so easy to make. You are just filling and folding over to create the most delicious dessert, without all the hassle of a typical pie. I like to make this when we go camping, as it can be cooked over the open flame or on a camp stove.

You can also make this at home if you prefer in the oven, just make sure you have pre pitted cherries and pre frozen butter puff pastry prior to your camping trip otherwise pitting cherries or  making pie crust from scratch when camping is no fun.

Then simply allow it to caramelizes over open fire, once cooked drizzle some Maple Syrup over top to sweeten and eat it right from the tin pan. Clean up is a cinch because you will simply toss the tinfoil pie shells in a sealed garbage and then can sit back and watch the fire roar.

Give it a try, I would love to know if you will try it camping or prefer this sweet treat at home.

Note: If you’re camping  and preparing this in bear country, take appropriate precautions to keep your campsite as unattractive to bears as possible. To do this simply purchase and properly use a bear-proof garbage container or ensure all your garage is placed in a sealed bin in your vehicle or at a designated dump once your done cooking, this helps keep our wildlife safe and you as well.

Easy Key Lime Pie

Leave a comment

This Easy Key Lime Pie contains only 4 ingredients and no eggs.  

If you have never tried this delicious pie that hails from Sunny Seaside Florida, then you are in for a treat! It’s super fresh tasting, tangy and sweet.

And if you knew it was this easy to make, I’m certain you would be making it more often.

This is one of my favorite pies, next to some other berries kinds.

And with only 4 ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, key lime juice, and whip cream. This pie is easy to make.

And takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish! 

HOW TO MAKE KEY LIME PIE

  • Some people like to add 2 cans of condensed milk, so if you prefer you can do that too.
  • Personally I prefer it made with one can because it gives more of that tangy taste that I love.
  • Plus if you add 2 cans, you will find it makes to much filling.
  • So if you decide to do so, be prepared for some extra filling on the side. Which I guess isn’t so bad right? 

This is my favorite KEY LIME JUICE!

For my all time favorite pie recipe!

Key Lime Pie is always best the next day, so allow it to sit in the fridge overnight for the best flavor.

When your read to serve, add your whipped cream on-top otherwise it will melt all over the place.

Rhubarb & Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt

Leave a comment

Hello Summer Fresh Rhubarb, i have been waiting all year for you. The trick to making the perfect Rhubarb and Strawberry Frozen Yogurt is to puree your Rhubarb. This is done by cooking down the Rhubarb in a saucepan with a little water and sugar till tender and then you simply mash it with a fork and or blend in a food processor if its stringy. And don’t forget, this freezes a lot quicker than store-bought frozen yogurt. Because it contains no extra fillers, so if your going to freeze overnight you can add in some corn starch or vodka to make scooping easier. Also, if you want more tart frozen yogurt, feel free to decrease the sugar in step 3!” 

What you will need:

To make the Rhubarb and Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:

  1. In a saucepan add in your cubed Rhubarb, with 3tbsp of sugar. Cook on medium/high heat for 15 minutes or until fork tender, and mash. If you find it easier you can transfer it to your food processor to puree to a smoother consistency once its been cooked down.
  2. Once your Rhubarb is done transfer it to the fridge for 2 hours to cool.
  3. Next lets make the Yogurt, if your yogurt if its not GREEK, you will need to strain the water out. If its GREEK omit this step. “In a strainer lined with 2 coffee filters allow your plain yogurt to strain by placing it in the fridge for 2 hours, you should get about 1/2 cup of water and discard of that.
  4. Now, lets prepare that delicious cream cheese mixture. In a food processor add your cream cheese icing, and powdered sugar. MAKE sure your food processor is cleaned out because you will be pulsing your strawberries in it next. Once the cream cheese is smooth “light and fluffy”, set aside on the counter so it reaches room temperature.
  5. Now in the same food processor, chop up 3 cups of frozen strawberries and then whisk them into your Greek yogurt. Then add in your rhubarb, condensed milk, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and red food coloring and whisk till everything is combined.
  6. Now, pour your yogurt mixture into your “frozen ice cream maker” and process for 20 minutes or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Now comes the fun part, grab a large plastic container will a lid (you will be using this to freeze your frozen yogurt in) after letting it sit for 20 minutes in the (Cuisinart machine to make it easier to remove) you then can start by pouring half your “Rhubarb & Strawberry mixture” in your container and then add in all of your room temperature cream cheese icing (To fill the middle of the container). Top with the remaining “Rhubarb & Strawberry mixture”. You also can mix the cream cheese directly into the ice cream if you desire, it will just look different then the picture.
  8. You can eat it soft as is or put in the freezer to allow it to freeze more for about 2 hours before serving
  9. Before scooping, remove from the freezer for about 10 minutes to scoop.

Note: This can store in the freezer up to one month.

Best Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Leave a comment

Do you like Pumpkin Pie? Well I do, so much so that I can eat a whole pie to myself. So I decided to recreate the same pie with this Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream.

Have you ever added vanilla ice cream to your Pumpkin Pie? It becomes even more AMAZING, don’t you agree?

That is what this ice cream becomes. 

I grew up eating Pumpkin pie, it was always served as the main dessert around Thanksgiving, Christmas and sometimes on Halloween.

As a kid I never could get enough of it. And so I wanted to recreate this pie and make it into an ice-cream. 

My family loves Pumpkin pie too, so I made this inspired ice-cream, and boy oh boy this stuff is delicious.

Don’t believe me? 

Well then you’re just gonna have to try it yourself!

Maybe you will even skip the actually pie this year and serve this up and your next family gathering. I’m sure your guests won’t mind! 

I am so thrilled you are reading one of my recipes, if you made this, I want to see! Follow Canadian Cooking Adventures Instagram, snap a photo, and tag and hashtag it with @canadiancookingadventures and #canadiancookingadventures.

Matcha Green Tea and Coconut Frozen Yogurt

Leave a comment
Do you like Pina Colada’s and dancing in the rain? Well then, you might just like this recipe for Matcha Green Tea and Coconut Frozen Yogurt better! I remember where and when i tried this first, it was last summer on a patio somewhere in downtown Vancouver, and to my surprise it was absolutely delicious and hit my sweet tooth. Shortly after i picked up some match powder and came up with my own version. Matcha is packed full of antioxidants and health benefits, so you just can’t go wrong with indulgence in this dessert every other day. I like to make this a couple times throughout the summer months, as its just another delicious excuse to get in all those amazing healthy benefits  that matcha Green powder offers.
Kitchen Essentials:

To make the Matcha Green tea and Coconut Frozen Yogurt: 

  1. In a food processor combine your greek yogurt, full fat coconut milk, milk, condensed milk, and matcha powder.
  2. And blend together until smooth.
  3. Pour into your pre frozen ice cream maker and let it do its magic for about 25 minutes.
  4. Scoop out and serve soft, or place inside a sealable airtight container and place in the freezer anywhere from 2-24 hours and enjoy!

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, check this post out
Note: Make sure the yogurt your using Greek yogurt otherwise it won’t turn out as creamy. Also if you want a stronger green tea flavor add 1- 2 more tbsp of matcha.
