I am a big fan of The Collective dairy products, their Straight Up Yoghurt is one of my favourites, it is probiotic and completely free of added chemicals and additives. I like yoghurt as a dessert, the boys can’t get enough of the nommy banana suckies so while they enjoy their banana yoghurt I like to make some cookie dough yoghurt for dessert.

Sweet treat

There are times when we all want something sweet without eating a sugar filled craps snack or something swimming in chemicals. When I find myself craving something sweet, I head to the fridge and make myself a bowl of cookie dough yoghurt. The combination of sun butter, yoghurt and chocolates crimps is easy to put together and has just enough sweetness to satisfy my cravings and fill me up.

Flexible treat

This treat is extremely flexible, it can be adapted to suit your dietary requirements. If you don’t like to eat dairy products this recipe can be used made using coconut yoghurt without too much change to the flavours. If you are fortunate enough to be able to eat nuts you can easy swap out the sun butter for almond, cashew or peanut butter. I use my homemade chocolate chips because they are low sugar and high fat, if you don’t want to make your own Choc chips you can use any kind of choc chips you like.
