Is Pinkberry Actually Healthy?

While I'd consider this tart yogurt recipe a dessert, it is lower in fat and higher in protein and calcium than most desserts.

Can you reduce the sugar?

You'll need some sugar to reduce the freezing point and make for a creamy yogurt taste. I recommend keeping the amount listed here, but you could lower it to 1/2 cup if desired.

What should I top tart frozen yogurt with?

I love this froyo with my plum sauce or with fresh chopped fruit-- like mango!

Ingredients

32 ounces Greek yogurt (see notes)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Whisk together the yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Continue to whisk until the sugar is ‘dissolved’ in the yogurt mixture. It will seem really thick at first, but keep whisking. It may take 2-3 minutes to get it very smooth and not grainy.
Place in the fridge for 30 minutes – 1 hour to chill. While you don’t have to do this step, I find it helps create a creamier product when processing the fro-yo.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and place in the base of an ice cream maker (I love this one). Process according to manufacturer’s directions until thick and creamy. Since I used all greek yogurt for this, it was thick within 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy as is for soft-serve consistency, or place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours before serving.

Notes

I tried this recipe a few times and preferred using 4% fat greek yogurt for this best. However, it’s possible to mix and match, using 16 ounces 0% fat and and 16 ounces 4% if desired. I did not like using 0% yogurt for the entire recipe, but I think 0% fat yogurt sometimes taste chalky.

The greek yogurt will seem really thick at first. Keep stirring it, it will thin out a bit.
