Cool treat on hot summer days

 
First for a homemade yogurt treat and then a semi homemade that is quick and easy!

This first recipe is divine and came out of this month's Martha Stewart Food. 

Raspberry Frozen Yogurt

You will need :

10 ounces of fresh or frozen raspberries

1 cup sugar

2 cups yogurt(I used organic vanilla Brown cow yogurt and cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup)

Puree the raspberries in the blender with the sugar and push through a mesh sieve to remove the seeds.  Add the yogurt and then follow your ice cream maker's instructions.  I use the Kitchen Aid attatchment and it is so easy.  You attach it and let it run for 20 minutes and Walla!  You have a homemade treat.  Enjoy!

 

Don't these look delicious!  Cherry Vanilla milkshakes with a butter almond cookie.

All you need is your favorite icecream, a little milk, a blender and some whipped cream(from a can) and a cherry.  And the best part is you didn't spend 5 dollars a piece on them!  Put in a fun swirly straw like this red one from bakeitpretty.com and now you have a fancy but cheap dessert.  Enjoy and happy summer to you!
