Ingredients
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (2% milk fat or higher)
- 4 cups frozen banana slices (approximately 6 frozen bananas)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the vanilla Greek yogurt, frozen banana slices, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste into a high-speed blender or food processor. Ensure the equipment is powerful enough to blend frozen fruit smoothly.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture, pausing occasionally to tamp down or scrape the sides as needed. Continue blending until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy, and lump-free consistency, resembling soft-serve frozen yogurt.
- Serve or Freeze: At this point, serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined, freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes to achieve a firmer consistency before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla bean paste; however, the vanilla flavor will be more subtle.
- The frozen yogurt can be stored in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
- Remove from the freezer 20 to 30 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for optimal texture.
