Do I need an ice cream maker to make frozen yogurt?

While an ice cream maker yields the creamiest results, you can make delicious frozen yogurt with a food processor, too.

What is the best base for homemade frozen yogurt?

Greek yogurt is the most common base due to its thick texture and high protein content. You can also use regular yogurt or a combination of both.

What sweeteners can I use?

Honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar are all suitable sweeteners. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level.

How do I add flavor to my frozen yogurt?

Get creative! You can use fresh or frozen fruit, extracts (like vanilla or almond), chocolate chips, peanut butter, or even spices like cinnamon or cardamom.

How long does it take to freeze frozen yogurt?

The freezing time varies depending on the method and recipe. With an ice cream maker, it usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

32 ounce container (3 3/4 cups) full fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar*
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Whisk together vigorously the yogurt, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved (test by rubbing slightly with your fingers to see if it is gritty, then taste).
Freeze the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Or, you can freeze it in silicon ice cube-sized trays for 3 hours, then pop out the cubes and blend in a food processor until smooth, adding a splash of cream if necessary to get it to blend (if you freeze overnight, allow the cubes to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften). This should have a soft serve consistency. Top with toppings and serve.**
Optional: For a scoopable consistency, freeze 2 to 3 hours, depending on your ice cream maker, to harden to a scoopable consistency.
Leftover storage: Homemade frozen yogurt is best eaten when freshly made. Leftovers store up to 1 week frozen. 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 to allow it to come to a more uniform texture before serving.

Notes

*This frozen yogurt tastes pleasantly tangy. If desired for a sweeter frozen yogurt, add 1/4 cup additional sugar. If you’d like, you can substitute honey, agave syrup, or pure maple syrup for the sweetener. Keep in mind the color will look slightly darker with maple syrup.

**For a fun presentation, you also can pipe it into a cup using a pastry bag (completely optional; we did it just for the photos).

***Add the toppings of your choice! Try sprinkles, fresh strawberries or raspberries, strawberry compote, edible cookie dough, and more.
