Recipe Notes
The blueberry sauce can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If refrigerated, just add to a microwave (affiliate link)-safe bowl and heat on high for about 90 seconds, or until warm. Be sure to stop and stir the mixture every 30 seconds to prevent any burning.

Hi Debbie,
Not sure why it won't freeze. We use commercially available frozen yogurt for this recipe. ~Martha
