Frozen Greek Yogurt~With Recipe!

  

Served on top of an oatmeal coconut cookie

I wanted to make frozen yogurt, but I only had greek yogurt in the house, so I gave that a try.  It is great, relatively healthy (as desserts go) and oh so simple!  It does use an ice cream maker, which I highly recommend investing in.  There are relatively inexpensive and good quality ones out there and they are soooo much fun to have!

A note on the ingredients: make sure you use good quality, natural extracts, if not they aren't as strong and can make it taste a little chemically.

Ingredients:

- 3 cups fat free greek yogurt (you can use higher fat content greek yogurt if you'd prefer)
- scant 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions:

1) Mix the ingredients together in a large glass bowl

2) Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes (an hour is better)

3) Put the mixture in an ice cream maker and freeze according to the ice cream maker's instructions.  Note: it took about 5 minutes less than making regular ice cream.

4) Put frozen yogurt into an air tight container (I use that flimsy grocery store tupperware that is sold next to the ziplocs) and keep in the freezer.  Note: the consistency will thicken up a bit.
