Raspberry Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt!

Looking for a healthy alternative for your Fourth of July festivities?    Try out this yummy Raspberry-Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt! 

Jammy raspberries and rich chocolate combine for a delicious, tart frozen yogurt. It's quick and easy to prepare, but plan ahead if you're using fresh berries — they take a little longer to freeze. Mini chocolate chips give you the most chocolate in every bite, but any kind of chip will work — dark-chocolate lovers should try bittersweet chips. 

Ingredients:

3 cup(s) fresh or frozen (not thawed) raspberries

2 cup(s) low-fat plain yogurt

1/3 cup(s) sugar or stevia

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

1/2 cup(s) chocolate chips, preferably mini

Directions: 

Place raspberries, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker (or see "No ice cream maker?" below). Freeze according to manufacturer's directions, or until desired consistency. Add chocolate chips during the last 5 minutes of freezing. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.

No ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch pan and place in the freezer. Stir every few hours, until the mixture is firm along the edges and semifirm in the center, 2 to 6 hours (using frozen berries will shorten the freezing time). Transfer to a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container, stir in chocolate chips, cover, and freeze until ready to serve.

Tips & Techniques

Make-ahead tip: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
