Jamun Froyo | Java Plum Frozen Yogurt

By
Jamun Frozen Yogurt is a delicious summer dessert made with Indian berry called jamun or java plum. The abundance of Jamun (Java Plum) inspired me to try this recipe and play with the flavors of the fruit. Hence, the result is Jamun (Java Plum) frozen yogurt. It is a gluten-free frozen yogurt recipe.


I love Jamun for its piquant flavor, vibrant hue, and fibrous texture, and they shine when paired with contrasting flavors such as spices, yogurt, or buttermilk.

Jamun needs a little touch of sugar to be transformed into a thick, smooth puree ideal to combine with yogurt. These two ingredients seem to be made for each other!


Making frozen yogurts is very easy. You can adapt to any season, add any ingredients you like, and play around with the different textures. It’s such a creative dessert, so scrumptious and beautiful to look at, and most of all, so delicious.

I have discussed in detail about frozen yogurt and its health benefits in my Strawberry Froyo recipe.


Since jamun's have a very limited season, this time I got 2 kgs, some of them got eaten as is, but the rest of them, I converted into a Jamun Compote. This is a slightly longish process considering you have to pit all of the jamuns! You can split up the process like I did. The previous evening, I pitted the jamuns and stored them in an air tight container in the fridge. The next morning, I prepared the jamun compote. 


Jamun Compote Recipe:
1.5 kg jamun, pitted,
500 gms sugar, (adjust it based on your sweet liking) 

Method:
  1. In a large heavy bottom pan, add the sugar. 
  2. Add in the jamuns and mix well.
  3. Cook it on low flame for about 15-18 mins, stirring it once in a while.
  4. Once the jamuns have lost their shape and become a mush, turn off the heat and allow it to cool down.
  5. Using a hand blender, blend it into a puree.
  6. Store this in a freezer safe glass container and freeze it. 
  7. You can use this during off season to make this jamun froyo, jamun pancakes, jamun cheesecake or just as a topping over plain vanilla ice cream!

Now that we have our jamun compote ready, we can make jamun froyo within 30 seconds!

Serves - 4

Ingredients:
2 tubs (90 gms) of greek yogurt,
400 gms jamun compote, frozen,
2 tbsp honey, (optional)

Method:
  1. Add the yogurt, honey and jamun compote into the blender.
  2. In 30 seconds you'll have frozen yogurt
  3. Scoop out the frozen yogurt and serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and freeze.

Note:
Be careful not to over-blend the frozen yogurt. It'll get quite soft if you blend it too long and won't get the right texture. Just a couple of whisks should do.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
