Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups yogurt (of choice, plain or flavored)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (of choice, e.g., honey, sugar, agave syrup)

Add-ins or Toppings

  • Optional: fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or other favorite toppings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Whisk together 2 cups of yogurt with 1/4 cup of your preferred sweetener until smooth. For a sweeter frozen yogurt, increase the sweetener to 1/3 cup.
  2. Churn the Yogurt: If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  3. Alternative Freezing Method: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure creaminess.
  4. Storage: Transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to one month.
  5. Serving: Natural homemade frozen yogurt is creamiest the day it’s made. Before serving leftovers, thaw for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

  • The creamiest texture is achieved on the day of preparation.
  • If using an ice cream maker, follow your machine’s specific instructions for best results.
  • Adjust sweetness according to personal preference.
  • Mix in toppings like fresh fruit or nuts after churning for added texture.
  • Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain flavor.
