Frozen Yoghurt with a Hint of Coconut
This recipe is brought to you, courtesy of Nik & Edwina's Cookbook.
"We pooled our Amazon tokens in Christmas 2011 and bought an ice cream maker, and we've had great fun with it ever since (see also Rose Kulfi and Carbonara Ice Cream with Mange Tout).
We’re both massive fans of frozen yogurt, so making this not-too-sweet, exotically coconutty dessert was at the top of our list."

How to prevent home made ice cream from freezing solid in the freezer
Home made ice cream is usually reasonably soft and 'scoopable' straight out of the ice cream maker, but once it is placed in the freezer for more than a few hours it becomes a solid block of ice, effectively.
Unfortunately without using artificial additives it is not generally possible to keep it soft once you freeze it. I have tried many suggestions and they all fail miserably, apart from this one!
Place the hard-frozen ice cream in your refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before you want to use it and re-freeze it immediately you have scooped out what you need.
Admittedly this does require some planning ahead, but it does mean you'll have usable ice-cream.
