Homemade Frozen Yogurt

Homemade Frozen Yogurt

I have been trying lots of different homemade frozen yogurt recipes lately and they always seem to come out tasting, well, like yogurt.

You know that tangy, yogurty flavor?

Really not what I was looking for.

I wanted it to be like when you go to one of those frozen yogurt places and it tastes creamy and delicious with just a hint of yogurt flavor.

Well, I don’t know how those places do it but I found my own way and it was pretty stink in’ good. In fact, I have enjoyed it so much that I am purposely saving a little bit of it for during or after labor. Since I am doing a home birth this time around I get to have whatever snacks I want 🙂 and I have a feeling this might just hit the spot.

I used homemade yogurt for this but you can certainly use store bought if you prefer. I happened to have a bunch of homemade yogurt that I didn’t really want to eat because it came out really runny due to me forgetting about the milk after I had heated it but before adding the culture. I knew I wouldn’t likely use a half gallon of yogurt for cooking before it went bad (especially considering I haven’t been cooking much being SO pregnant) I figured, hey, why not use it for frozen yogurt?

So here it goes,
