kcalIngredients
2 cups of Greek yogurt (full fat for creaminess) 🥛
1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste) 🍯
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for a hint of elegance) 🌺
Pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness) 🧂
Optional: 1/2 cup of your favorite mix-ins (berries, chocolate chips, nuts) 🍓🍫🥜
Directions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and the honey is fully dissolved.
- Optional Mix-ins: If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in your favorite mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts.
- Prepare for Freezing: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. If your Ninja Creami requires the use of specific pint containers, make sure to transfer the mixture into one.
- Freeze Solid: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze solid, ideally for 24 hours. Patience is key here for the perfect consistency!
- Creami Time: Insert the frozen block into your Ninja Creami. Select the ‘Frozen Yogurt’ setting and let the machine work its magic.
- Scrape and Spin: After the initial spin, remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the pint container. This ensures an even texture.
- Second Spin: Place the container back and run the Ninja Creami for a second spin if needed, to achieve that creamy perfection.
- Serve Immediately: Your homemade frozen yogurt is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Feel free to garnish with extra toppings of your choice. Fresh fruits or a drizzle of honey work wonderfully.
- Store: If you have leftovers, you can store them in the freezer. Just give it a quick spin in the Ninja Creami before serving again to refresh the texture.
Notes
- This homemade frozen yogurt is not only delicious but also offers a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. Rich in protein thanks to Greek yogurt, and with the option to control the sweetness, it’s a guilt-free pleasure. Remember, adding mix-ins or toppings will alter the nutritional content, so choose wisely based on your dietary preferences.
Serve your homemade frozen yogurt in a beautiful bowl, topped with fresh fruits or a sprinkle of granola for a delightful crunch. It’s a versatile dessert that pairs wonderfully with warm pies or can be enjoyed on its own for a refreshing treat.
The first time I attempted making frozen yogurt in my Ninja Creami, I was skeptical about the outcome. However, the results were astonishingly creamy and flavorful, surpassing my expectations. It’s become a summertime tradition in my household, and I hope it brings as much joy to your family as it has to mine.
