Rhubarb yoghurt ice
You could bling up this yogurt ice cream into a sundae, with strawberry sauce, chopped nuts and a dollop of our clotted cream. Yogurt ice cream can set firmer than ordinary ice cream, particularly if you use a low fat one. This mix is particularly good with some chopped stem ginger added.
