Equipment
- Ice Cream Maker
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and honey until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and add more sugar or honey if necessary (some yogurt brands are tarter than others).
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing yogurt in your ice cream/frozen yogurt machine. The frozen yogurt is ready when it's smooth and stiff (it will harden even more in the freezer). Serve immediately with your chosen toppings, or transfer to a container and freeze until ready to eat.
Notes
How do I make the frozen yogurt soft like in yogurt shops?
Frozen yogurt served in yogurt shops often has a soft, creamy texture due to special machines that continuously churn and freeze the yogurt simultaneously. At home, achieving this texture can be a bit trickier, but there are a few ways to get close:
• Use an ice cream maker: This churns the yogurt as it freezes, ensuring a soft, smooth consistency.
• Stir frequently: If you’re not using an ice cream maker, stir the yogurt every 30 minutes while freezing. This prevents large ice crystals from forming and keeps it creamy.
• Add a bit of alcohol: A small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of alcohol (vodka or liqueurs) in the yogurt mixture can lower the freezing point and result in a smoother, softer texture. This works exceptionally well in more adventurous flavors!
• The addition of heavy cream helps prevent the fro-yo from becoming icy.
