Hi Kelly. A few months ago I bought the Jessica Seinfeld cookbook Deceptively Delicious. I made a bunch of her purees and froze them. I think I deceived myself into thinking I would add puree to everything, but that's another post.
I had a lot of buttermilk left over after making the Smitten Kitchen's divine buttermilk dressing. Why can I never find a small bottle of buttermilk? Anyway, there is a delicious frozen yogurt recipe in Deceptively Delicious that calls for buttermilk, so I made a huge bowl yesterday.
The only thing about this recipe is that it is so tasty that I just go ahead and eat it after I make it - so I guess technically it is yogurt soup. Erin loves it this way too.
I make it with low-fat plain yogurt and low-fat buttermilk so it really is a health food when you think about it, and more fun than taking a calcium supplement. I also use the pale beige organic sugar which gives it more depth of flavor.
The recipe is deceptively simple.
Ha! I am so funny!
2 cups plain yogurt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup organic sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
Grated peel of 1 lemon
Stir well and freeze to whatever
consistency your patience will allow.
See that little girl to the right? That's what Erin looks like when we run out of yogurt soup. That's not Erin, I just liked that picture and Erin would actually be facedown on the floor.
