Creamy frozen yogurt packed with blueberry compote and crumbling cookies. A heavenly treat on a hot summer day. Low-FODMAP and gluten-free, it’s a feel-good, good-for-you kind of snack!
135g (about 1 cup) gluten-free cookies with low-FODMAP ingredients, lightly crushed*
1 & 1/2 cups (225g) fresh or frozen blueberries*
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 and 1/2 cups full-fat, lactose-free Greek or lactose-free plain yogurt*
1/2 cup lactose-free cream cheese*
1 cup heavy whipping cream*
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Gluten-free sugar cones for serving*
Instructions
Prep your blueberry sauce by whisking cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan until smooth
Add blueberries and sugar to the pan, and bring to a low simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally
When blueberries are soft and sauce is thickened, remove from heat
If desired, press through a strainer to remove seeds, or use an immersion blender to break the berries down
I used an immersion blender to make a puree
Chill well, about 3-4 hours
Once cool, beat your heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 1-2 minutes)
In a second medium bowl, beat or whisk your lactose-free cream cheese, then slowly add the lactose-free yogurt, maple syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth
Fold in half of the whipped cream until incorporated
Add second half of whipped cream and fold again
In a loaf pan or a long freezer-safe container, spread 1/3 of yogurt mixture and top with 1/3 of the blueberry sauce, followed with 1/3 of cookie crumbles (you will do this 3 times to form all the layers)
An angled spatula works well to spread the blueberry sauce
Repeat layers two more times, ending with the blueberry/crumble mixture
Cover frozen yogurt with plastic wrap to touch the surface, then cover with lid
Freeze until solid and firm, about 4-6 hours
If you leave it longer, then it will need more time to defrost and may have a slightly icy consistency
I suggest allowing it to sit out at room temperature 10-15 minutes prior to serving
Notes
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients *using available FODMAP data at time of posting
Suggest graham, shortbread, vanilla sandwich, chocolate sandwich cookies
125g is one low-FODMAP serving for blueberries. If frozen, rinse under cold water until it runs clear
I used LF Greek yogurt, this will make it extra thick
You can also use regular cream cheese if desired, 2 tablespoons is one low-FODMAP serving
1/4 cup is one low-FODMAP serving for heavy cream. To completely eliminate lactose, you can add lactase drops (several brands available) to your heavy cream prior to use, follow instructions on the box for desired quantity
