Ingredients
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 32 ounce container (3 ¾ cups) full fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Whisk together the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) vigorously until the sugar has completely dissolved. You can test by rubbing a small amount between your fingers for grittiness and tasting to ensure it’s smooth and sweetened well.
- Freeze Using Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach a scoopable consistency.
- No-Churn Method: Alternatively, pour the yogurt mixture into silicon ice cube trays and freeze for 3 hours. Once frozen, pop out the cubes and blend them in a food processor until smooth. Add a splash of heavy cream if needed to help blend. If frozen overnight, let the cubes soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes before blending.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Serve your homemade frozen yogurt with toppings of your choice such as sprinkles, fresh strawberries or raspberries, strawberry compote, or edible cookie dough for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and richer flavor.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preferred sweetness.
- The no-churn method is great if you don't have an ice cream maker.
- If using the ice cream maker, make sure to follow the specific freezing times suggested in your machine’s manual.
- Store leftover frozen yogurt in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week for best texture.
