Pro Tips
- Use full-fat yogurt. Low-fat yogurt can make the frozen yogurt icy instead of creamy.
- Sweeten generously. Cold dulls sweetness, so the mixture should taste a little sweeter than you’d expect before freezing.
- Chill the mixture first. Cold mixture freezes faster and smoother.
- Stir every 30 minutes. This breaks up ice crystals and keeps it creamy.
- Let it soften before serving. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
