This instant peach frozen yogurt is made with frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and just a touch of honey. You’ll love how fast and easy it is to make this quick summertime treat.
Today’s recipe is brought to you by Faith of An Edible Mosaic. She and I have been friends for a few years, and she is the best! In fact, for my wedding, she even sent me some lovely foodie gifts! A DIY cheese kit and a vinegar pot. I’m going to be in cheese and homemade vinegar heaven! Faith’s blog is beautiful, and she makes everything from lightened-up classics to delicious sweets and even flavorful Middle Eastern fare.
Hello Nutmeg Nanny readers! I’m Faith and I blog at An Edible Mosaic.
I’m thrilled to be part of Brandy’s Ice Cream Social event! I adore Brandy’s blog for her home-style recipes (which always remind me of my mom’s home-cooked meals) and her candid stories.
She was one of my very first blogger friends who I got to know in real life (countless phone chats count as real life, right? I know if we lived closer, we’d be sharing iced coffee and kitchen experiments all the time though), and I will say she is just as sweet and genuine for real as she is on her blog.
So, it is a pleasure to be here…thanks for having me, Brandy!
Straight from the food processor, this instant peach frozen yogurt has a soft-serve-like consistency.
When I was thinking about what kind of ice cream I wanted to contribute, I first thought about a decadent treat like fresh cherry cheesecake, triple chocolate mocha, or caramel sweet potato pie (mmm, they all sound amazing!).
But then I started thinking about what I would typically eat daily, and I decided to share something that can be whipped up and enjoyed any time an ice cream craving hits. My instant peach frozen yogurt is perfect for every day because a) it’s easy to make, and b) it’s healthy.
After freezing for a few hours, this instant peach frozen yogurt is more like regular ice cream.
The flavor of this peach fro-yo is fantastic, with honey and vanilla pulling out the fruity/floral notes from the peach. You might be tempted to skip the salt, but don’t because it helps to highlight flavor nuances and round out the overall flavor.
One of the things I love most about this recipe is that it’s super versatile; you can experiment with any fruit or flavorings you want. I keep the fruit and yogurt at about a 1:1 ratio, but you can play with the ratio a little to find out what you like best. A few of my other favorite fruits are blueberries, strawberries, mangos, and bananas.
The fun thing about this recipe is that no matter what your favorite frozen treat is (whether it’s soft-serve, regular ice cream, or somewhere in between, like gelato), this frozen yogurt fits the bill. It can be eaten right from the processor if you like a light, fluffy, soft-serve-like texture, or you can transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it until it has a stiffer texture, like ice cream (about 1 to 2 hours). If you freeze it longer than 2 hours, let it thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving…then it’s somewhere in the middle, like gelato.
With a consistency somewhere between soft-serve and regular ice cream, this instant peach frozen yogurt is more like gelato if you freeze it and then let it thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
