bestdayofmylife: RECIPE! - strawberry peach fro-yo! this is my first ice cream maker success! it took a bunch of tweaking so this recipe is full of approximations, but that is the fun of having an ice cream maker - whatever you put into it will freeze into SOMETHING! to make this fro-yo you’ll need: 2ish cups of plain low-fat yogurt 2 ripe peaches (i used 1 peach and 1 nectarine) about half of a pint of strawberries maybe 15 or so?  1/4 c honey 1/4 c brown sugar a splash of vodka (this keeps it from getting icy in the freezer) a teaspoon or so of GOOD vanilla extract the juice of 1 lime then follow these instructions: peel and chunk up your fruit and put it into your blender. add the sugar, honey, vanilla, lime juice, and vodka to the blender and pulse till smooth. add the 2 cups of yogurt to the blender and pulse till combined evenly. put the mixture into your ice cream maker however it says you should! mix till thick and creamy and then enjoy! (or freeze it a bit first after it’s ice cream and then enjoy! or both!) like i said this recipe is not perfect in any way - i think the important thing is to have about a cup of sweetened fruit puree and 2 cups of yogurt. i think that’s a good ratio : )

RECIPE! - strawberry peach fro-yo!

this is my first ice cream maker success! it took a bunch of tweaking so this recipe is full of approximations, but that is the fun of having an ice cream maker - whatever you put into it will freeze into SOMETHING!

to make this fro-yo you’ll need:

  • 2ish cups of plain low-fat yogurt
  • 2 ripe peaches (i used 1 peach and 1 nectarine)
  • about half of a pint of strawberries maybe 15 or so? 
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • a splash of vodka (this keeps it from getting icy in the freezer)
  • a teaspoon or so of GOOD vanilla extract
  • the juice of 1 lime

then follow these instructions:

  1. peel and chunk up your fruit and put it into your blender.
  2. add the sugar, honey, vanilla, lime juice, and vodka to the blender and pulse till smooth.
  3. add the 2 cups of yogurt to the blender and pulse till combined evenly.
  4. put the mixture into your ice cream maker however it says you should! mix till thick and creamy and then enjoy! (or freeze it a bit first after it’s ice cream and then enjoy! or both!)

like i said this recipe is not perfect in any way - i think the important thing is to have about a cup of sweetened fruit puree and 2 cups of yogurt. i think that’s a good ratio : )
