Fresh Berry Rut April 1, 2009

I am in a Fresh Berry rut again!!  They were so rude that I didn’t go for several months, but my mom got me going again.  She always likes to go there when she is in Tulsa and remind me how wonderful it is.  In this post that I wrote, I complained that the toppings weren’t fresh.  Since going back, I haven’t had that problem again.

I have tried making it a home several more times, but I just couldn’t get it to taste exactly like Fresh Berry’s Tart flavor.  My mom told me to try Sour Cream — that it could be their secret ingredient.  Sounds weird — I know!!  BUT–I made it with Sour Cream and it tasted exactly like Fresh Berry’s Tart.  It makes sense in a way – Sour cream is white so it would not change the color, it is tart….

Here is the recipe:

1.5 cartons (48 ounces) Lowfat Plain Yogurt
1/8 – 1/4 C. Sugar (to your taste)
2-3 heaping spoonfuls of Sour Cream

Blend ingredients very well until the mixture is very smooth.  You should not be able to feel any sugar granules.  I usually blend it in my blender.
Pour mixture into yogurt maker/ice cream maker – whatever you have.  I leave it in there until it looks like soft-serve consistency.  It is probably 10-15mins.
Serve with your favorite toppings.
