Boozy Mocha Yoghurt Ice-Cream
You may have noticed that I am a big fan of using healthier alternative ingredients vs. traditional recipe ingredients (as long as taste is not hindered).
I commonly use apple puree to replace butter, cocoa to replace chocolate, and avocado instead of cream etc etc…and the list could go on for a while… So after recently eating a mocha flavoured ice-cream I didn’t surprise myself when I decided to take the coffee and chocolate flavours and reinvent the ice-cream with a more healthier substitute – low fat yoghurt.
And yes I do bake with yoghurt quite a bit but it’s usually via means of cake batter, not as the base of an ice-cream. To continue the substitute trend I used cocoa powder with some brown sugar as a low fat alternative to milk chocolate.
Lastly to make this ice-cream a little cheeky and further its decadence, I added a solid pouring of Baileys to strengthen the coffee flavour and increase the creaminess.
This Mocha Yoghurt Ice-Cream is moreish and additive without it hurting my hips too much!

Method:
