Commenting on the project Joanna Buist, Account Manager, said: “The yoomoo brand has established its roots over the last two years and is now one of the leading frozen yogurt brands in the UK. The recent boom in frozen yogurt retailers has opened the category up to a wider audience creating a huge opportunity for the brand in take-home as well.” yoomoo frozen yogurt is available in 500ml tubs in 2 flavours: vanilla, as I’ve used here, and also strawberry as I used in my frozen yogurt breakfast sundae with fruit compote. Eating a sundae with ice cream first thing would really be a bit too rich, so I’ve gone for the low fat and lower calorie option of yoomoo frozen yogurt. It’s really tasty, and available in vanilla and strawberry flavours so you can mix and match the sundae according to how you’re feeling. The strawberry flavour is swirled with strawberry sauce, both looks and tastes great. We really love the texture of this fro-yo: light and fluffy. yoomoo is also available as frozen lollies, in mixed berry, strawberry and tropical flavours. Now one of those would really be a breakfast with a difference! R&R is a market-leading company with a strong portfolio of innovative products and excellent potential to expand in the UK and internationally.

Nina Fortune, Design Director, adds: “The yoomoo brand is all about personality. Our challenge was to ensure that this brand personality was retained in the take-home range whilst creating standout in the freezer cabinet and communicating yoomoo’s low fat, healthier offering.” I really enjoy variety at breakfast, particularly at weekends. While I’m always looking for everything I cook to be as fuss free as it can, sometimes spending a little more time and effort really makes a difference. We’ve enjoyed breakfast muffins, smoothies, pancakes and waffles in the past, and here’s another string to our breakfast bow: the breakfast sundae! Manufacturers R&R Ice Cream claimed that the new products would “offer a healthier alternative to ice cream”, and are now seeking to exploit the trend in frozen yogurt products. Very the garnish according to what’s available: if you can’t find shell-on prawns, don’t worry. Just leave them out.This dish is dinner party worth but also perfect to serve on date night or for casual dining with friends. Frozen yoghurt (or yogurt, as our transatlantic cousins would prefer) is an American invention that became huge in the 1980s.

Not me, and I would think that I’m far from alone! And while I do like to spend a bit more time preparing weekend breakfasts, I don’t go mad: I want something tasty, that looks good, that really marks out the weekend as different from the working week, but not so over the top that takes ages in the kitchen. A sundae is perfect for that.

Defrost the frozen fruit (take out strawberries and they contain too much water and become too mushy).

Not only that but vanilla in the yogurt and the sweetly savoury juicy prawns are a great combination too.
