Simple but effective recipes for summer are what you need when it’s too hot to bake and you want a delicious treat to cool down in the sunshine. Whizz up an oaty base, top with a coconut berry layer then finish with a yogurt vanilla and decorate with colourful berries and boom, grab out of the freezer and enjoy! You could use any berries you have to hand, and make the base or yogurt layer a chocolate one by adding in 4 tablespoons cocoa powder to the mixture. Sprinkle some flaked almonds or coconut chips before placing in the freezer for an extra nutty crunch too!
