Yoo Moo Frozen Yogurt Lollies Mixed Berry, Strawberry & Tropical, 6 x 55ml (Frozen)

Product Information

First, make the fruit compote. This can be made ahead of time, and will keep in the fridge for a few days. It’s a big move for a company founded just 18 months ago by friends Samantha Pyser and Amanda Gestetner after they discovered ‘fro-yo’ on a trip to LA. If you want to make this dish ahead of time, mix the sauce and add the prawns, cover and leave in the fridge. Place scoops of the yoomoo on a silicone mat and freeze them ready to assemble the dish just before serving. The consumer sector is one of PAI’s core target areas for investment, having successfully invested in leading food and consumer businesses including: Yoplait, one of the top 20 global consumer brands; United Biscuits, the largest biscuits manufacturer in the UK; and Chr. Hansen, a leading food ingredients supplier. Frozen yoghurt (or yogurt, as our transatlantic cousins would prefer) is an American invention that became huge in the 1980s. It was initially promoted as a low-fat alternative to ice cream, although some experts continue to dismiss this. Then along came, guess what, low-fat ice cream.

yoomoo frozen yogurt is available in 500ml tubs in 2 flavours: vanilla, as I’ve used here, and also strawberry as I used in my frozen yogurt breakfast sundae with fruit compote. PAI Partners will support R&R through its next phase of growth, investing in the expansion of the company’s international footprint and renowned consumer brands. Nina Fortune, Design Director, adds: “The yoomoo brand is all about personality. Our challenge was to ensure that this brand personality was retained in the take-home range whilst creating standout in the freezer cabinet and communicating yoomoo’s low fat, healthier offering.”

Charlotte Hambling, head of UK marketing at R&R Ice Cream, said: “We’re always looking for fresh ways to bring innovation to the market and trends showing an increase in demand for healthier treats meant it was a natural progression to expand the yoomoo range into the frozen lollies market. Our partnership with R&R has been very successful. We are delighted to have supported the company in achieving significant growth since our investment in 2006 and an enhanced market position. The company today is a leader in its sector and is well-positioned for future growth. We wish R&R every success in its new relationship with PAI.” Apr 2013 PAI Partners ("PAI") today announced the acquisition of R&R Ice Cream Plc ("R&R"), a leading European ice cream manufacturer with a strong portfolio of own-label and branded products, from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("Oaktree") and the other shareholders of R&R for an undisclosed sum. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and financing conditions. R&R's senior management team will continue to lead the business and are investing in the company.

Barclays acted as sole financial advisor to Oaktree. Rothschild and Credit Suisse advised PAI Partners. About R&R Ice Cream Commenting on the project Joanna Buist, Account Manager, said: “The yoomoo brand has established its roots over the last two years and is now one of the leading frozen yogurt brands in the UK.

We have benefitted immensely from working with Oaktree and I would like to thank them for their support.” Do you love frozen yoghurt? Or is it just a fad? And who makes the best 'fro-yo'? Let us know in the Comments section below. The cool, sweet frozen yogurt works really well with the heat from the chili used in the dressing for the prawns. Not only that but vanilla in the yogurt and the sweetly savoury juicy prawns are a great combination too. In 2006, following the Oaktree managed funds’ acquisition of the company; Richmond was merged with German ice cream manufacturer Roncadin GmbH to form R&R Ice Cream.

I really enjoy variety at breakfast, particularly at weekends. While I’m always looking for everything I cook to be as fuss free as it can, sometimes spending a little more time and effort really makes a difference. We’ve enjoyed breakfast muffins, smoothies, pancakes and waffles in the past, and here’s another string to our breakfast bow: the breakfast sundae!Defrost the frozen fruit (take out strawberries and they contain too much water and become too mushy). This dish is dinner party worth but also perfect to serve on date night or for casual dining with friends.

Manufacturers R&R Ice Cream claimed that the new products would “offer a healthier alternative to ice cream”, and are now seeking to exploit the trend in frozen yogurt products. Rather, spoon of a little sauce into a small bowl or ramekin. Add the cornflour, and mix to a smooth paste. Very the garnish according to what’s available: if you can’t find shell-on prawns, don’t worry. Just leave them out. Heat the defrosted fruit in a saucepan, and add the water. After the mixture has warmed through, spoon off some liquid into a small bowl and add the cornflour.The frozen yoghurt bandwagon continues to roll on with the news that yoomoo has become the first brand to fully make the transition from kiosk to supermarket in the UK.
