6 guilt-free frozen treats

By TASTE, 17 October 2024

Keep your cool – and lose the guilt – with Abigail Donnelly’s chilled desserts featuring less sugar, less dairy, less fat and less effort, from a pistachio-tahini sundae to a three-ingredient fruity sorbet sandwich.

1. Refined-sugar free pistachio-tahini date ice cream

This pistachio-tahini date sundae is sugar-free, dairy-free and full of flavour. You'll be returning to this recipe all summer long. If you're not a fan of tahini, use peanut butter instead.

2. No-churn black sesame ice cream

You need just four ingredients to make this ice cream and no specialist equipment. Abi also made an eggless three-ingredient cookie that also contains no refined sugar to go with it. Make a double batch of the cookies and keep in the fridge for a sweet treat.

3. Vegan litchi granita

You don't have to wait until December to make this treat as it's made using canned litchis. Making the granita requires the most effort when making this dessert, and that takes just 5 minutes. Make the granita the day before so it’s easier to flake.

5. Banana yoghurt soft serve

If you've bought too many bananas, pop a few into the freezer to make this super-easy frozen treat. The soft serve is made using just frozen bananas and almond milk. Abi topped the dessert with chocolate-coated popcorn, but you can serve it with whatever you'd like.

6. Refined-sugar-free pineapple frozen yoghurt

Like the banana soft serve, this recipe is made by blending pineapple with plaindouble-cream yoghurt. To make it even sweeter, Abi tops it with honey and almonds.

We've covered the fruit-and-nut fans, so we have to end off with a guilt-free frozen treat for the coffee lovers! The secret to this epic iced coffee is Woolworths caramel-flavoured frozen dessert. You can enjoy the caramel iced coffee as is, or top it with coffee crema to make it extra special.
