Red, White and Blue Frozen Yogurt Cake

Let's talk about the 4th of July or any summer gathering, actually. Guests are coming, there's going to be grilling and salads and side dishes and copious amounts of snacking while you're waiting for it all. And when it's done you still want something sweet but cold and light. It's easy to just serve ice cream but maybe you kind of want to impress your guests a little, too?

This red and while and blue layered treat is sweet and cold and totally impressive. And nobody needs to know that it's easy to make and they certainly don't need to know that you actually made it the day before. Or even the day before that!

And if any guest wants to pass on it because they want to eat healthy, you can assure them that it totally is because it's really just fruit and yogurt. Or don't tell them that and there'll be more for you. Enjoy!

• 1 Tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

To freeze all these fruits, peel and slice the banana, cut the watermelon into bite size pieces and place both along with the loose blueberries on a sheet pan in the freezer. Once frozen, put each fruit into a separate plastic bag and keep in the freezer until needed.

Add the graham crackers and melted butter to a small food processor and pulse until thoroughly incorporated. Place the mixture into a half-size spring-form pan (approx. 4" - 5") and press the crumbs to the bottom and sides. Place in the freezer while you make the first layer of frozen yogurt.

Rinse the bowl of the food processor and add the frozen blueberries, condensed milk, yogurt and salt. Puree until smooth and pour into the prepared crust. Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Rinse the bowl of the food processor again and add the frozen banana, condensed milk, yogurt and salt. Puree until smooth and pour on top of the blueberry layer. Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Rinse the bowl of the food processor again and add the watermelon, condensed milk, yogurt and salt. Puree until smooth and pour on top of the banana layer. Return to the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.

To slice, run the blade of a knife under hot water for a minute, wipe dry and slice.
