Ingredients

1 quart whole milk plain yogurt (~3 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup honey (or natural sugar-free honey)

1/4 cup heavy cream (or half & half or full-fat coconut milk)

1/4 tsp sea salt

Optional for vanilla flavor: 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Optional for fruit flavor: 2 ½ cups frozen fruit (any kind, such as strawberries)

Optional for chocolate flavor: ¾ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional for peanut butter flavor: ¾ cup peanut butter

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for your chosen flavor until smooth. For fruit-flavored frozen yogurt, blend the mixture in a high-powered blender or food processor to fully incorporate the fruit. For other flavors, whisking is sufficient to achieve the right texture.

Step 2: Check the temperature of the mixture. If it’s not between 40-45°F (4-7°C), cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes until cold but not frozen. If the ingredients were just taken from the fridge, they should already be cool enough.

Step 3: Pour the mixture into a pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This typically takes 15-20 minutes, sometimes up to 25 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.

Step 4: Freeze the frozen yogurt for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. If not using an ice cream maker, stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first 4 hours to improve the texture.

Step 5: Before serving, remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping and better flavor.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping honey for maple syrup or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles.

Use Greek yogurt for a thicker and tangier frozen yogurt.

Mix in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or swirl in fruit preserves after churning for extra texture and flavor.

Use full-fat coconut milk and coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.

For a more intense chocolate taste, add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the cocoa mixture.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat yogurt?

Yes, you can use low-fat or non-fat yogurt, but the texture might be less creamy and more icy. Adding a bit more cream or coconut milk can help improve the texture.

Do I need an ice cream maker?

An ice cream maker is recommended for the best texture, but you can still make frozen yogurt without one. Just freeze the mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes for the first few hours to prevent large ice crystals.
