Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 800 g vegan Greek-style yogurt
- 320 g vegan condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Berry Coulis (Optional)
- 120 g berry coulis
Instructions
- Prepare: Freeze your ice cream maker bowl for at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours, before starting the recipe to ensure it can churn the mixture effectively.
- Make the base: In a large bowl, combine the vegan Greek-style yogurt, vegan condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
- Churn: Transfer the mixture to the frozen bowl of your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically between 25-40 minutes. The frozen yogurt is ready when it becomes very thick and sticks to the arm of the machine. For a no-churn option, see the recipe notes.
- Transfer: Move the churned frozen yogurt to a loaf pan or a sealable container for layering.
- Add coulis: Pour the berry coulis over the top, then gently fold it through the froyo using a rubber spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the goal is to keep pretty swirls of berry throughout.
- Freeze: Smooth the surface with an offset spatula, cover with a lid or parchment paper, and freeze for 2-3 hours until fully solid. For softer serve texture, you can enjoy directly from the ice cream maker.
- Storage: Store your vegan frozen yogurt in an airtight container or sealed loaf pan in the freezer. Consume within 2-3 weeks for optimal flavor and texture. Before serving, allow it to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to achieve perfect scoops.
Notes
- Use vegan Greek-style yogurt to maintain creaminess without dairy.
- The berry coulis is optional but adds a lovely fruity swirl and extra flavor dimension.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the base mixture in a shallow container and stir it every 30 minutes until firm to mimic the churning process.
- Resting the frozen yogurt at room temperature before scooping ensures smooth, easy serving.
