Equipment

Ingredients

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

  • 2 cups strawberry yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 2 tbsp. frozen dragon fruit chunks (for enhanced pink color)
  • ½ cup strawberry ice cream topping
  • pink whipped cream (see below)
  • 8 skull cherries (see below)
  • 1 red dragon fruit, cut into crossbones (optional)
  • pink awareness ribbon sprinkles (optional)

Skull Cherries

  • 1 cup red hard candy, melted (mini silicone skull mold)
  • 8 apple stems (mock cherry stems)

Pink Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 drops red food coloring

Instructions

  • In a food processor add yogurt, frozen strawberries and dragon fruit and blend until smooth.
    Enlarged the holes of the two part skull mold using scissors so that the holes are about 1-inch in diameter. Assemble the 2-part skull mold and pour yogurt mixture into skull molds and freeze overnight.
  • Melt hard candies in a microwave safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave on half power for about 2-2½ minutes until melted. Adjust time as needed. Pour into molds and let cool completely. Remove skull candies from the molds and set aside.
    Remove the stems off of 8 apples. Heat one end of a metal skewer by holding it over a flame and press it into the top of the skull to melt it a bit and then stick the apple stem in it. Repeat with the remaining skulls and stems working one at a time.
  • In a large bowl, add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and food coloring and beat until fluffy.
  • Optional: Cut out red dragon fruit crossbones with a mini bone cookie cutter.
  • Assemble Sundae: Place dragon fruit crossbones down first. Place skull scoops next. Drizzle with strawberry topping, whipped cream and top with a candy skull cherry and sprinkles. Enjoy!
