Asian Pear Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Asian pears
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1–1/2 cups Greek-style plain yogurt
- 2–3 Tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Generous pinch of fine sea salt
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon crushed pink peppercorns
- Sliced Asian pear or candied pears-optional
- Almond Cookies-optional
Instructions
- Peel and chop the pears into small 1/2-inch chunks. Toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a blender, combine the pears and ginger and puree until smooth. You may have to use a tablespoon of water to get the pears moving.
- In a large bowl, combine the pear-ginger puree with the yogurt, sugar and salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Churn according to your ice cream maker’s manufacturer instructions, adding the chopped crystallized ginger during this process.
- Top the frozen yogurt with the crushed pink peppercorns, a slice of fresh Asian pear or candied pear and a crispy almond cookie before serving.
