Honey-Poppy Seed Frozen Yogurt

Tiny poppy seeds add a pleasing crunch, delicate nutty flavor and subtle floral notes to this honey-infused yogurt. For a midsummer treat, serve the frozen yogurt with grilled stone fruits, such as nectarines, plums or cherries. Grill halved, pitted fruit over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place a few pieces of the grilled fruit in each bowl, drizzle with honey and top with frozen yogurt.
