Frozen Coconut Yoghurt with Cinnamon

This frozen coconut yoghurt with cinnamon is a sophisticated, refreshing alternative to traditional ice cream. By using Greek yoghurt as a base, the dessert gains a pleasant tang that perfectly balances the tropical sweetness of the coconut and the warmth of the spice. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a lighter, vegetarian-friendly treat that doesn't compromise on creamy texture or depth of flavour.

Ideal for a quick midweek dessert or a cooling afternoon snack, this homemade frozen yoghurt is naturally lower in sugar thanks to the use of stevia. The addition of desiccated coconut provides a lovely bite, while the chilling process ensures a smooth, professional finish. Serve it on its own or alongside fresh tropical fruit for a truly seasonal delight.
