Blueberry & Honey Baobab Frozen Yoghurt: A Fresh, Fruity Frozen Dessert

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 400g Greek yoghurt (or thick plant-based yoghurt)

• 200g frozen blueberries

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 teaspoon of baobab powder

• The juice of ½ a lemon

For decoration (optional):

• A few fresh blueberries

• A drizzle of honey

• A drizzle of sesame oil

• A few fresh basil leaves

Method

Blend the yoghurt, frozen blueberries, honey, baobab powder and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth, creamy and well combined.

Serve immediately for a soft-serve ice cream-style texture, or place in the freezer for 1 hour, stirring halfway through, for a firmer consistency.

Just before serving, garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey. For an even more indulgent touch, add a drizzle of sesame oil and a few fresh basil leaves.

Baobab powder is naturally rich in vitamin C, a nutrient that contributes to the normal formation of collagen, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Blueberries provide anthocyanins, antioxidant pigments that help protect cells against oxidative stress and support microcirculation. Honey rounds off the recipe with its naturally occurring sugars, as well as enzymes and amino acids that contribute to its nutritional value.

A treasure from Africa, it’s an ideal active ingredient for dull and tired skin. This powder also works wonders in moisturising and soothing face masks for sensitive skin, or to combat the signs of skin ageing.
