Can you just freeze yogurt to make frozen yogurt?
No, if you freeze yogurt, it will just freeze solid. It needs to be processed using a food processor and the other ingredients blended together. This will result in the desired consistency and not just a solid frozen block of yogurt.
Pro Tips
- You will need a large food processor to make this recipe. I use my food processor all of the time and it is definitely a kitchen gadget that I love. It is so handy for lots of recipes.
- I like to let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping. It helps it to have more of a soft serve consistency.
- Full fat yogurt is best. The texture and taste will be creamier with full-fat yogurt.
Topping ideas
- Whipped Cream- We love this easy homemade whipped cream.
- Coconut- I love shredded coconut on frozen yogurt. If you haven’t tried it, it is so good.
- Peanut butter topping
- Strawberry Sauce.
- Hot Fudge Topping – Try this simple homemade recipe for hot fudge.
