How To Make Frozen Yogurt
1. Prepare the yogurt mixture: Mix the Greek yogurt and powdered sugar - or sugar substitute like powdered monk fruit sweetener - in a bowl until fully combined.
2A. Freeze the yogurt: Transfer the sweetened yogurt mixture to a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the yogurt to prevent large ice crystals from forming as it freezes.
2B. Use an ice cream machine: If you have an ice cream maker at home, you can use it to churn the sweetened yogurt mixture into a creamy semi-solid texture.
2C. Freeze and blend: Divide the yogurt mixture into ice cube trays. Freeze them for around 3 hours or until firm, then blend the frozen yogurt cubes in a blender or food processor until smooth.
3. Scoop and serve: Scoop your homemade frozen yogurt into ice cream bowls and serve with fresh strawberries and ground hazelnut brittle.
Enjoy!
Flavor Variations
- Peanut butter: Mix ¼ cup of peanut butter with the yogurt.
- Chocolate: Mix in a ¼ cup of cocoa powder and top the chocolate frozen yogurt with chocolate chips and sea salt flakes. Just don't forget to add a touch more sweetness to your frozen yogurt if you go this route as the cocoa powder will add a little bitterness to your froyo.
- Fruit: Blend the yogurt with frozen bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or any other fruit of your choice.
- Salted caramel: Mix ¼ cup of this keto caramel sauce and a ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt with the yogurt base.
Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Sweeten the frozen yogurt more by adding a tablespoon of honey, pure maple syrup, or liquid allulose.
- Use whole milk yogurt or full fat Greek yogurt for a creamier frozen yogurt with a soft serve ice cream consistency.
- Add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract for more flavor.
- Use non-dairy yogurt to make vegan frozen yogurt.
