Peach Frozen Yogurt with Raspberry Sauce
Surprise! I never post on Saturdays, but today is the 21st, which means Recipe ReDux! This month’s theme is No Cook (AKA Super Quick) Desserts. Since the Recipe ReDux is sponsored by Registered Dietitians, and encourages mostly healthy recipes, I doubt they wanted to hear about my all time favorite no cook dessert:
Take one bag of Pepperidge Farm Brussels cookies. Pour one jar of Stonewall Kitchen Spiced Rum Butterscotch Sauce over cookies. Stir in one pint of Haagen Dazs Bananas Foster ice cream. Mush everything together and eat.
Stop judging me.
Actually, I have a terrible sweet tooth (really fangs), so I rarely have dessert around the house, except for when I’m testing a recipe for my blog. Oh, and holidays. And maybe apple season, because Mr. Craving loves apple pie. I’m one of those people who is never satisfied with just a taste. I won’t ever eat the entire cake, pie, or batch of cookies in one sitting, but I have been known to have some for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and dessert until it’s all gone – never more than a day. So usually my dessert is one or two Calcium gummies. Nothing like the fear of OD-ing on calcium to help with portion control :).
Wow, now that that’s off my chest, let’s talk about my no cook dessert. I was inspired by Kelly at Just A Taste (she probably can have just a taste), who made Peach Frozen Yogurt in a food processor, in a matter of minutes. I kicked it up just a little bit by adding some fresh raspberries to the frozen peaches and Greek yogurt, and topping it with a quick raspberry sauce. Super quick, AND healthy – hopefully ReDux approved.
Peach Frozen Yogurt with Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 12 oz container fresh raspberries – divided
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam seedless if preferred

- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbs water

Instructions
Raspberry Sauce
- Bring about 8 oz of the raspberries, jam, sugar, and 1 tsp of the lemon juice to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Reduce heat and simmer 2-3 minutes, or until raspberries begin to break down.
- Stir in cornstarch/water mixture and return to a boil.
