Fruit yogurts...what can I do with them

watchingthepennies_2

I have 8 ski fruit yogurts (with bits in) that my kids wont eat, what can I use them for or make them into?

Already used some others for smoothies, anyone have any other ideas please?

You can make something like a cheesecake without baking
Mix yogurts with some gelatine, sugar (if like sweeter), leave in the fridge to set You can top up with fruit and jelly

push lolly sticks into them and put in freezer or empty them into an ice cream carton and freeze. tell the kids its ice cream.

I made these scones that were originally posted on the Daily thread by Money Saving Diva :T They are gorgeous and very easy to make. I have made them with apricot or peach yoghurt with chopped apricots and also with any other fruit youghurt and any other dried fruit. DH & I particularly liked dried cranberries and black cherry yoghurt

[FONT=&quot]Apricot Scones[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]8oz self raising flour (I used half white and half wholemeal)[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot](just under) 1 tsp granulated sweetener (or about an oz of sugar I guess)[/FONT][FONT=&quot] I used 1oz of sugar
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]2oz lard[/FONT][FONT=&quot] I used butter
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]2 - 3 oz chopped ready-to-eat apricots (I guess if you use dried you would need to soak them first)[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]6 fl oz apricot yoghurt[/FONT][FONT=&quot] This is about one average size pot
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]pinch salt[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

• [FONT=&quot]Sift the flour and add the sweetener and salt and rub in the lard[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Add the chopped apricots and mix in the yoghurt til you have a stiff dough. (I found I needed a drop of milk too)[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Roll the mixture out and cut into scone sized rounds. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Grease a baking tray and place the scones on it.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Bake in a hot oven at 220 C for about 10 mins or until they smell done! (or look golden brown)[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Hope this helps.

I have frozen strawberry yoghurts in the past in ice lolly moulds for the kids - they tasted lovely. oh dear - have i done something wrong? isnt yoghurt suitable for freezing???

It is fine - you can BUY frozen yogurt desserts!

Make a yoghurt cake

1 pot yoghurt
2 pots sugar
2 pots vegetable oil
3 pots SR flour
2 eggs

Empty yoghurt into a bowl and then use the pot to measure other ingredients, all all together then mix. tip into a loaf tin and bake on 150c for 1 to 1.5 hours or until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool and cut into slices. Works with any flavour yoghurt.

Could you whizz them up with bananas and freeze them in ice lolly moulds?

You can pour them over ice cream - sounds strange but tastes fab!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I am going to try some ice lollys, the yogurt cake and the scones, should all be gone by then!
