SNACKS:
Blackberry Yogurt Lollies
Most ice cream is a high-fat, high-sugar diet disaster. These lollies have zero fat and are high in protein – the raw material for making diet-tactic S Factor hormones. They’re also a gorgeous color and have a comforting creamy texture, so you’ll never know you’re eating a diet treat.
MAKES: 4 servings
PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes,
plus cooling and at least 2 hours of freezing
COOKING TIME: 5 minutes
80g/2¾oz/generous ¹⁄³ cup stevia-based
natural sweetener or xylitol
150g/5½oz/scant 1¼ cups blackberries
120g/4¼oz/scant ½ cup reduced-fat
Greek yogurt
juice of 1 lemon
1 Put the natural sweetener and 40ml/1¼fl oz/3 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Heat, stirring, over low heat until the natural sweetener has dissolved and the mixture is syrupy. Remove the pan from the heat and leave it to cool completely.
2 Meanwhile, put the blackberries in a blender or food processor and process to a smooth purée. Using the back of a metal spoon, press the purée through a sieve into a clean bowl. Discard the pulp and pips.
3 Return the blackberry purée to the blender or food processor and add the sweetener syrup, yogurt, and lemon juice. Process again until smooth, then pour the mixture into four lolly molds and freeze for 2–3 hours. When the lollies have completely frozen, remove them from the molds and serve. If the lollies are stuck, briefly hold the molds under hot running water and carefully remove the lollies.
