Although you’ll need to stir the mixture a few times while freezing it, this is an easy recipe, and the yogurt comes out creamy and delicious. In summer, there’s nothing quite like a sweet frozen treat. I used to own an ice cream maker, but it took up too much countertop space. So I gave it away, and now I make frozen treats without an ice cream maker. This frozen yogurt is easy to make and delicious. You can serve it at a soft-serve consistency or freeze it until it can be scooped out.
Recipe Card
Greek yogurt: I use plain whole-milk yogurt in this recipe. While regular yogurt is excellent, you should definitely use Greek yogurt in this recipe. Sweetener: I like to use honey because it’s so delicious. You can use a granulated sweetener if you prefer - sugar or a sugar-free alternative. Vanilla extract: Use high-quality pure vanilla for the best results.
I like to completely puree the fruit in the food processor, then add the yogurt, honey, and vanilla. But you can blend the yogurt and honey first, then add the fruit and process briefly, leaving fruit chunks in your yogurt. The possibilities are endless, but the flavors I make most often, in addition to this one, are mango, raspberry, and chocolate. Mix. You start by mixing the ingredients together. You can use a food processor or simply place the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand whisk. Keep in mind that you’ll need to whisk for about three minutes to get the mixture to be fluffy. Freeze. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 45 minutes. Freeze some more. The yogurt should now have a soft-serve consistency. You can go ahead and enjoy it. At this point, I usually transfer it to a smaller container (this makes scooping easier), cover it, and freeze it for one more hour to achieve a scoopable consistency. Sometimes, I serve it topped with honey-roasted nuts, stewed prunes, blueberry compote, or strawberry compote. You can also drizzle it with melted dark chocolate or melted peanut butter. And for a special treat, serve it with crumbled chocolate cookies or chocolate chip cookies. If the yogurt has been in your freezer for over a day, remove it about 30 minutes before enjoying it.
