Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Does anyone have a good recipe for frozen yogurt? Obviously it is not as simple as throwing yogurt in an ice cream maker. This is essentially what I did, with a few egg yolks, some maple syrup and vanilla. But it came out practically like ice. I didn't see a recipe in NT or in any of my cook books. Not even my ice cream recipe book! Anyone got anything good?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I haven't made any frozen yogurt yet (just got my ice cream maker this last weekend), but I looked on http://www.allrecipes.com and it looks like you need to either add a bit of oil or alcohol to it. Maybe try it with some coconut oil? In re my ice cream maker, thought I'd post about it. I got this one: *http://tinyurl.com/2k9oju *and it works better than I thought it would! I've made vanilla ice cream and peach ice cream so far, and both turned out well. It doesn't make as much as most makers out there (only about 1 qt), but it's enough for one night for my family. It says you can do 2 batches before re-freezing, and technically you can, but the second batch is very slow. The first batch takes 10-20 minutes. For the peach ice cream last night, I had used a bunch of frozen peaches. It froze VERY fast with that! LOL I checked it at 15 minutes and it was rock solid. Anyway, it's entirely stainless steel, very inexpensive, and has no moving parts, so it's quiet. I think I'd still like to eventually get the attachment for my kitchenaid, but this one is great for now, and we will be taking it camping with us too (we have a camper, so have a freezer *BG*).

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 > > Does anyone have a good recipe for frozen yogurt? > Here's the Cook's Illustrated recipe: Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Makes 1 generous quart 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt 2 teaspoons gelatin (unflavored) 1 3/4 cups whole milk 1 cup granulated sugar , minus 2 tablespoons 1 vanilla bean , 5-inch piece, slit lengthwise 1. Spoon yogurt into fine-mesh strainer set over glass measuring cup. Place measuring cup in refrigerator; let drain until yogurt releases 1/2 cup liquid, 1 to 2 hours. 2. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of the milk in a small bowl; let stand, stirring frequently, until gelatin swells, about 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and vanilla bean in small saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove pan from heat. 4. Add swelled gelatin to hot milk-sugar mixture, stirring until completely dissolved. Scrape seeds from softened vanilla bean into mixture, whisking seeds to evenly distribute; discard bean. Cool to room temperature, then mix with drained yogurt. 5. Refrigerate yogurt mixture until it cools to at least 40 degrees. Pour chilled gelatinous mixture into canister of ice cream machine; churn until frozen. (Can be served as soft frozen yogurt at this point, or can be stored in a sealed plastic container for 2 days before it becomes icy.)

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The frozen yogurt cubes worked fine in my smoothie today. I added 2 cubes to my 2 cup drink. I think freezing yogurt is a great way to take advantage of sales and permits you to buy a larger container without fear of it going bad.
