There is a dangerous appliance lurking in my kitchen.
It’s not the serrated knives. Or the super-sharp food processor blade. Or the pressure canner.
It’s this dude:
Don’t let the rounded edges and sleep appearance fool you.This little machine is responsible for more losses of willpower than any other item in the entire kitchen.
It makes whipping up a batch of homemade ice cream WAY TOO EASY.
If I wanted to make ice cream in the past, I had to make sure I had plenty of ice (which I never did), and also plenty of salt (which I never did). Inconvenient? Yes, but at least it kept the ice-cream eating at a minimum.
But not any more. Now I’m only 25 minutes away from ice cream at any moment in time. And that, my friends, is highly dangerous.
I also recently discovered that it makes a knock-your-socks-off frozen yogurt recipe.
So, like any rational person would do, I proceeded to make three separate batches in a 48 hour period.
All for the sake of the blog. Of course.
Frozen yogurt is not only the perfect summer-time treat, but it is also packed-full of probiotic goodness. So you can feel a little bit better about those frequent batches…
Andbecause I love you guys, I’ve included recipes for all three variations of frozen yogurt in today’s post. You’re welcome.
Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Recipe
- 4 cups plain, unsweetened yogurt (I like to use my homemade yogurt for this)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unrefined cane sugar(where to buy)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I like to make my own vanilla extract)
Use a stand blender or an immersion blender to combine all four ingredients until the sugar and cocoa is thoroughly dissolved.
Taste the frozen yogurt mixture, and adjust the sweetness, if needed. (It tends to slightly lessen in sweetness a bit after it freezes, sofeel free to add a bit more sweetener at this stage)
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s recommendations. (It usually takes 25-30 minutes to complete a batch in my machine.)
Honey Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Recipe
- 4 cups plain, unsweetened yogurt(I like to use my homemade yogurt for this)
- 1/2 cupraw honey (where to buy)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract(I like to make my own)
Use a stand blender or an immersion blender to combine all three ingredients until the honeyis thoroughly mixed in.
Taste the frozen yogurt mixture, and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s recommendations. (It usually takes 25-30 minutes to complete a batch)
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe
- 4 cups plain, unsweetened yogurt(I like to use my homemade yogurt for this)
- 1/3 cup unrefined, granulated cane sugar (where to buy) (more or less to taste)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (or other berries/fruit of your choice)
- 2 teaspoonsvanilla extract(I like to make my own)
Use a stand blender or an immersion blender to combine all four ingredients until thestrawberries are pulverized. I initially used my food processor for this, but a blender would have been much easier.
Taste the frozen yogurt mixture, and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
This frozen yogurt recipe is best eaten right away, but you can also pop it into the freezer for later if you like. Simply remove it from the freezer 20 minutes before you plan to eat it to allow it to soften.
