A fabulous healthy ice cream – while I used an ice cream maker you really do not need one for this recipe. It is super easy to assemble and perfect for the Summer Peach Season. I used a vanilla coconut yogurt for this recipe but you could just sub plain yogurt and add extra vanilla too. For an extra protein boost why not add a scoop of vanilla protein powder when blending.

Using yogurt is a fabulous way to get more probiotic rich foods in your diet. Peaches are a great source of vitamin C, antioxidants and loads of soluble fibre making this the ideal gut healthy dish.
The addition of the amaretto is optional but helps to keep the ice cream softer and less icy when freezing.
