FROZEN VANILLA YOGURT ICE CREAM (LOW FAT)



Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Ice Cream (Low Fat) image

I have been making ice cream and frozen yogurt for years. The recipe makes up smooth, rich and suprisingly, freezes very well. I have a very hard time keeping my paws out of the vanilla yogurt before it goes into the canister. I usually keep my canister in the freezer in preparation for those times when I want to use it. The ice cream is not as labour intensive as custard type ice cream and yogurt based ice creams are lower in calories so easier on the waist. My machine is the "crack style", so it really impresses my guests when I make it up in front of them. The instructions for Yogurt Cheese can be found at #38422. The yogurt is yummy as is....wonderful over granola in the mornings!! This recipe works well with a fruit sauce, but do not add the vanilla if using with a chocolate sauce. The preparation and chilling time is an approximate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans: The vanilla flavor in this frozen yogurt is what makes it so delicious, so be sure to use the best quality vanilla beans you can find. Look for beans that are plump and moist, and avoid any that are dry or brittle.
  • Scrape the vanilla beans thoroughly: When you're scraping the vanilla beans, be sure to do it thoroughly. This will release all of the flavor from the beans and ensure that your frozen yogurt is as flavorful as possible.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is essential for making this frozen yogurt. A regular blender won't be able to blend the ingredients together smoothly, and you'll end up with a grainy frozen yogurt.
  • Chill the mixture before churning: Chilling the mixture before churning it will help it to churn faster and smoother. It will also help to prevent the frozen yogurt from becoming icy.
  • Churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency: Don't over-churn the mixture, or it will become too hard. You want it to be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
  • Transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the frozen yogurt to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This creamy vanilla frozen yogurt is the perfect summer treat. It's easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy this frozen yogurt at home in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
