Make Your Own Fro-Yo
Issue: 2016/06 - June
Frozen yogurt is a popular dessert, which, unfortunately, is frequently full of sugar and not-so-natural additives.
The great news is that frozen yogurt is very easy to make at home. Making frozen yogurt can become a fun family tradition during the hot summer days and you can even put your fro-yo in plastic cups and take it outside!
The actual yogurt you use is the most important part of this experience. You need thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. The full-fat versions of plain Fage and Cabot work very well, but they are not organic, so keep that in mind.
The recipe below makes vanilla-flavored fro-yo. Add berries, grated chocolate, peanut butter, fruits, nuts, etc on top, when the yogurt is ready. Blending the toppings with the yogurt may create an unwanted change of texture.
If you want your yogurt to look like it came out of the yogurt machine, place the already frozen yogurt into a ziplock bag. Do not close the bag, unless you want to end up with a yogurt bomb! Cut one of the bag’s corners off. Push the yogurt into the serving bowl through that hole in the ziplock bag.
Homemade Frozen Yogurt
You need: Full-fat Greek yogurt, raw honey or maple syrup to make it a bit too sweet for your taste (as the yogurt freezes, it no longer tastes too sweet,) 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for every 2-3 cups of yogurt used.
Mix all ingredients to combine. Freeze in a Tupperware container. Take out of the freezer. If the yogurt is frozen solid and it’s too hard to take out of the container, place the container in a large bowl of hot water for a few minutes or lightly thaw in the microwave (just enough to be able to take the yogurt out of the container.)
Blend the frozen yogurt in a high-speed blender and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
