Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
You’ll want to gather a few fresh ingredients for this recipe.
- Ripe Peaches: Use 4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced. The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your yogurt will be.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Two cups of this will provide creaminess and a nice tang. Full-fat yogurt works best, but you can use low-fat if you prefer.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Add 1 tablespoon if you like a sweeter taste. If you want a vegan option, use maple syrup instead.
- Vanilla Extract: A teaspoon adds warmth and complements the peaches nicely.
- Lemon Juice: Don’t skip this! One tablespoon brightens up all the flavors.
The Cooking Process Explained
Creating this peach frozen yogurt is straightforward and fun! You’ll need a blender and a Ninja Creami machine to make this dream a reality. The process involves blending your ingredients, freezing the mixture, and then letting the Ninja Creami do its magic to turn it into a creamy dessert.
Directions to Follow
- Blend: Combine the diced peaches, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour: Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container.
- Freeze: Freeze the mixture for 24 hours to ensure it’s set.
- Process: After freezing, remove the container and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the ‘Frozen Yogurt’ setting and process until creamy.
- Serve: You can serve immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and refreeze for later enjoyment.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- Wash Peaches Thoroughly: Even though you’ll peel them, washing them ensures no dirt or residue remains.
- Use Ripe Peaches: The fruit should be soft to the touch and fragrant for the best flavor. Firm peaches will result in a less sweet yogurt.
- Don’t Skip the Lemon Juice: It not only enhances flavor but helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the peaches.
Creative Twists
If you want to mix things up:
- Add Other Fruits: Toss in some diced strawberries or blueberries for a fruity combo.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for a warm spice note.
- Make it Vegan: Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a plant-based version.
Serving and Storage Tips
This frozen yogurt pairs wonderfully with granola, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy more, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
Common Questions
- Can I make this ahead of time? Absolutely! Just freeze it for up to a month.
- Can I use fresh instead of frozen peaches? Yes, fresh ripe peaches work perfectly for this recipe.
- How do I get it creamier? If it’s too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
