Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup light cream cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a 7-cup food processor fitted with a steel blade. Blend on high until smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve texture, or portion into 1-cup jars (about 3/4 cup per serving) and freeze for several hours before sealing with lids.
- Step 3: Store frozen for up to 3 months.
- Step 4: When ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes or warm in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until softened.
Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, naturally sweet mangoes for the best flavor and less added sweetener.
- Swap maple syrup for honey or agave if preferred.
- For an extra creamy texture, add a tablespoon of coconut milk.
- Try adding chopped nuts or a swirl of fruit jam before freezing for added texture and flavor.
Storage
Keep the frozen yogurt in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw slightly at room temperature or microwave in short bursts to soften. Avoid refreezing after thawing to maintain the best texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?
Fresh mango can be used, but freezing the mixture or the mango chunks beforehand helps achieve the creamy, frozen texture that mimics soft-serve.
Is this recipe dairy-free or vegan?
This recipe uses Greek yogurt and cream cheese, so it is not dairy-free or vegan. To make a dairy-free version, try using coconut yogurt and a vegan cream cheese alternative.
