Here’s how to make homemade frozen yogurt! Whip up this delightfully creamy frozen yogurt with just 3 ingredients. It’s essentially Greek yogurt ice cream — a tangy, smooth, and perfect treat no matter the season. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounce container (3 ¾ cups) full fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar*
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the yogurt, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) vigorously. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Test this by rubbing it slightly with your fingers to see if it’s gritty, then taste). 
  2. Freeze the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Depending on your ice cream maker, freeze for 2 to 3 hours for a scoopable consistency. 
  3. Alternatively, you can freeze the base in silicon ice cube-sized trays for 3 hours, then pop out the cubes and blend in a food processor until smooth. Add a splash of cream if necessary to blend. (If you freeze overnight, allow the cubes to soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes.)
  4. Add the toppings of your choice! Try sprinkles, fresh strawberries or raspberries, strawberry compote, edible cookie dough, and more.

Notes

*This frozen yogurt tastes pleasantly tangy. I’ve found that adding 1/4 cup of additional sugar helps sweeten the final product without significantly altering the consistency. If you’d like, you can substitute honey, agave syrup, or pure maple syrup for the sweetener. The color will look slightly darker with maple syrup, though.

Leftover storage: Homemade frozen yogurt is best freshly made, but leftovers can be stored frozen for up to one week. The texture becomes very icy and hard when frozen overnight, so allow it to thaw on the counter for at least 30 minutes before scooping. After thawing, consider running it through a food processor for a more uniform texture before serving.
