After I first wrote about this frozen yogurt recipe in 2007, I began by saying, “Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt has nothing on the recipe in David Lebovitz’s cookbook The Excellent Scoop.” It was peak fro-yo period and in entrance of me was a e-book brimming with each wildly inventive and basic ice cream flavors. Whereas it might sound a bit peculiar to decide on to go the frozen yogurt route over ice cream, Wayne loves yogurt. He had been touring all week, I chipped the freezer burn off the ice cream maker and churned up the creamiest frozen yogurt for him to take pleasure in when he arrived house. You need to completely make some too.
David’s easy, three ingredient recipe delivers a splendidly tangy, not-too-sweet, creamy white cloud of excellent frozen deliciousness. And, imagine me, as a California native, I do know good fro-yo after I style it. It’s really uncommon factor. You could be tempted so as to add candy swirls, crushed fruit, or chocolate chunks. For the primary go-around, don’t. Restrain your self. Use good yogurt and luxuriate in it straight the primary time round. Determine on twists for the longer term.
Which Ice Cream Maker?
For a very long time I used a little bit Krups Ice Cream Maker, one of many ones you permit in your freezer. It served me nicely for years, delivering batch after creamy batch. I ultimately invested in a Breville Good Scoop. David has ice cream maker suggestions on his web site as nicely. Spoiler alert, he additionally has a Good Scoop but additionally highlights others at a variety of worth factors.

Low-fat yogurt can be utilized however the frozen yogurt can have a comparatively agency texture as soon as it’s deep-chilled in your freezer. Glad churning!”
