FROZEN VANILLA YOGURT ICE CREAM (LOW FAT)



Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Ice Cream (Low Fat) image

I have been making ice cream and frozen yogurt for years. The recipe makes up smooth, rich and suprisingly, freezes very well. I have a very hard time keeping my paws out of the vanilla yogurt before it goes into the canister. I usually keep my canister in the freezer in preparation for those times when I want to use it. The ice cream is not as labour intensive as custard type ice cream and yogurt based ice creams are lower in calories so easier on the waist. My machine is the "crack style", so it really impresses my guests when I make it up in front of them. The instructions for Yogurt Cheese can be found at #38422. The yogurt is yummy as is....wonderful over granola in the mornings!! This recipe works well with a fruit sauce, but do not add the vanilla if using with a chocolate sauce. The preparation and chilling time is an approximate.

This frozen yogurt is so much easier than homemade ice cream! Just so you know, this freezes a lot quicker than ice cream. Also, if you want tart frozen yogurt, feel free to decrease the sugar!

VANILLA YOGURT (HOMEMADE)



Vanilla Yogurt (Homemade) image

I am submitting this as a recipe assuming you have made yogurt, have a yogurt maker or: there are several recipes here at 'Zaar describing "how to make" Yogurt. This makes a mild, smooth vanilla yogurt great plain, with fruit, cereals or grains. (time does not include chilling time)

Time 12h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups milk (your choice whole-skim)
1/2 cup powdered dry milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 -6 tablespoons sugar (Splenda or honey)
1/2 cup yogurt starter (unflavored plain yogurt with active cultures)

Steps:

  • Set 1/2 yogurt starter out to warm to room temperature.
  • Heat the milk to almost a boil.(I like to microwave in a glass bowl for 5 minutes on high then 2 minutes on medium). Cool the milk (to a "barely warm"/ babies bath temperature) (cool water bath works well). Add dry milk, vanilla and sweetener of your choice; stir well.
  • Stir in yogurt starter (do not whip but mix very well!).
  • "Cook" the yogurt using your preferred method and time (longer makes a firmer, more tart yogurt. I like to cook about 12 hours). Chill 4 hours before eating.
