How to Make Frozen Yogurt

With this recipe, you won’t have to buy your frozen yogurt in supermarkets because you’ll be able to make it in your own home! Using two ingredients, you can make yummy and hearty Frozen Yogurt!

Ingredients

Here are the two ingredients you will need to make the Frozen Yogurt:

Yogurt

Did you know that yogurt is made by fermenting milk with a yogurt culture?

On its own, yogurt tastes like a mix of sweet and sour flavors. It is also known for its creamy, smooth, and thick consistency that makes it easy to mix into different ingredients.

Nowadays, yogurt comes in many flavors, but you can use plain yogurt for this recipe. Aside from its rich flavor and texture, the yogurt also boasts lots of health benefits.

Yogurt is easy to add to your daily diet. You can mix it with berries, nuts, and cereal for a filling breakfast. It also makes a good ingredient for smoothies, overnight oats, salads, and even baked food.

Condensed milk

Enjoy the milky-sweet goodness of frozen yogurt with condensed milk. It will give the frozen yogurt a thick and smooth consistency even after it is frozen.

You can use condensed milk for drinks, pastries, sauces, desserts, and more! However, make sure to use it in moderation to prevent weight gain and other adverse effects.

I have used it for freezer-friendly recipes such as Vanilla Ice Cream; it has produced incredible quality.

Can you already taste and experience how rich, delicious, and gratifying Frozen Yogurt is? Wait until you try it, and you will surely find yourself making it more often!

Directions

Just when you think it can’t get any easier, follow these three steps for the Frozen Yogurt recipe!

1. Mix the yogurt and condensed milk with a spatula in a measuring jug or a glass bowl. 
2. Then, pour the contents into ice cube trays or popsicle molds.
3. Let them freeze for several hours or until frozen solid.

It’s a convenient treat because you can simply pop them out of the molds when you’re craving something sweet. Taste it and let me know if you love it too!

Without a yogurt maker

In case you want to do the oven method, you need two cups of milk and two tablespoons of live culture.

1. Heat the milk on the stove until the temperature reaches 80°C.
2. Pour the milk into jars and let them cool at 40°C.
3. Then, stir in the live culture.
4. Maintain the temperature at 40°C for two hours to twenty-four hours.
5. Keep the yogurt in the fridge to thicken.

As an alternative to homemade yogurt, you can use store-bought yogurt for a quick recipe.

How to Store Yoghurt and Condensed Milk

Yogurt

• Once opened, seal the container with aluminum foil to prevent contamination and spoilage.

Condensed milk

Ice Cube Tray Substitutes

Did you use all of your ice cube trays? Don’t worry; there are substitutes you can use to make Frozen Yoghurt! For instance, pour the contents into trays to achieve similar results. 

Utilize cups, empty containers, silicone molds, egg cartons, and other makeshift materials you can recycle. 

Frozen Yogurt Variations

Aside from this sweet delight, you can also mix them with fresh fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, strawberries, bananas, and other fruits you prefer.

In fact, you can try adding small chunks of fruit to add variety and texture to the dessert. For a pump of flavor, add honey, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and other sweeteners of your choice. 

Aside from classic yogurt, you can also use other yogurt flavors to make Frozen Yogurt. It’s great for adding colors for fun party servings.
