We finally had our first 80 degree day this spring! Dust off those grills (charcoal of course!), wipe down the patio furniture and get out your ice cream scoops! After a lazy dinner outside on the patio, I scooped us each a bit of vanilla yogurt. How… vanilla! I needed something to “spring” it up, so I went rummaging through my pantry to see what I could add, and here is what I came up with… I, first, zested a clementine and squeezed its wonderful juice into a separate bowl. To the juice I added a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, a teaspoon of Agave nectar and a pinch of salt. I mixed and poured a few teaspoons over each scoop of yogurt. I topped with the zest. What we ended up with was a wonderfully refreshing sundae that tasted like the best Orange-sicle you have ever had! If I wanted to spend the time, I could have added more sugar and reduced the sauce on the stove top, creating a thick syrup. Either way we have ushered spring into our backyards and greeted it with open arms!
