Why You Should not Try the Recipe for Frozen Yogurt Kiwi

Last Updated on October 24, 2012 by Babita

This is one of those recipes that look good only on paper. I found the pin for this frozen yogurt strawberry on Pinterest. It was sourced from Glamour.com who in turn had sourced it from here. Check out the picture yourself and tell me if you can resist the temptation to make something like this.

It was hyped as a perfect afternoon snack by the author and seeing how easy it was to prepare, I fell victim to the tantalizing photograph.  In my eagerness to make it, I decided to use kiwi instead of strawberries, as that was the only fruit I had at home that day. My girls suggested coloring the yogurt orange as a way to represent Fall/Autumn and I felt this would be a good lesson in ART 101 for them. So I whipped out the red and yellow food coloring and asked them to stir it into the Greek Vanilla Yogurt. I peeled the skin of the kiwi and after it was all prepped; I rolled it around in the yogurt. Then as per instructions placed it on a parchment lined sheet pan and froze it overnight anticipating to be blown out of my mind. This is how my frozen yogurt kiwi looked like.

What a found the next day was sheer disappointment. It obviously did not turn out the way the strawberries did and it was definitely not dry. It felt like biting into a softened version of ice cube. If it was out for a long time, then the frozen yogurt started to melt and I was left with a runny mess. It was so bad that I had to share my experience so that others don’t fall into the same trap that I did. A word of advice to my readers: “Don’t ever make this. If it looks too good to be true then it certainly is”.
