Simple recipe to make really delicious yogurt ice cream and frozen yogurt homemade with the classic basic yogurt ice cream recipe. Yogurt ice cream that is not too sweet and contains simple ingredients such as yogurt is best made by yourself. Today we’ll show you how to make delicious ice cream yourself in 15 minutes without any preparation.
Yogurt ice cream recipe with little sugar
Basically, my first ice cream recipe started with me looking for the perfect yogurt ice cream. Similar to the frozen yogurt stores, I wanted to buy a similar FroYo in the supermarket. I was extremely surprised to find that it didn’t exist.
Just a simple, pure yogurt ice cream – it should be tart, fresh and not too sweet. The only thing I found were yoghurt ice cream sundae mixes with fruit, which were all far too sweet for me. So I had to come up with something.
The best way is always to simply make the ice cream you want at home. So I started researching the best mixing ratios and everything I needed to consider. It quickly became clear to me that my yogurt ice cream recipe should contain as little sugar as possible.
You can easily make refreshing, delicious frozen yogurt from yogurt yourself…
Best yogurt ice cream recipe
I have found my best yogurt ice cream recipe, which is also the quickest ice cream ever. I often have the ingredients to hand at home and when I fancy a quick ice cream without much effort, I immediately think of this recipe.
The delicious yogurt ice cream recipe can be varied as desired and quickly enhanced with chocolate chips or different fruits in the ice cream or as a topping. This ice cream is perfect for spontaneous ice cream cravings, as you don’t have to boil the ice cream mixture, but can simply start without waiting.
Make your own creamy yogurt ice cream
All you have to do is mix yogurt, cream, lemon and a little powdered sugar and dextrose powder with a whisk or hand mixer and the ice cream mixture is ready to chill. If you don’t have dextrose or glucose powder, it doesn’t matter, as this makes the ice cream creamier but is not essential for the recipe.
I tried my first yogurt ice cream recipe completely without dextrose powder and the result was still good. You only notice it a little more when it defrosts again, but not when you eat the ice cream straight away.
The fat content of the yogurt is more important for creamy ice cream. I have also learned that it makes no sense to go for 1.5% fat in yogurt. It makes the ice cream harder and more watery than you would like. In the meantime, I have arrived at cream yogurt with 10% fat and also like to use this for my soft chocolate buns.
Ice cream with or without an ice cream maker
There are many options when it comes to making your own ice cream. Of course, you can make simple frozen lollipop ice cream for children from juice, but if you are looking for creamy ice cream, you need an alternative. I wanted to make creamy ice cream that I could keep in the freezer.
Milk ice cream and yogurt ice cream are my favorites, although I also like to eat fresh sorbet ice cream in summer. Anyone who has known me for a long time knows that I always plan a stop at the ice cream stand at the ITB trade fair – the best mango sorbet so far.
Making creamy ice cream homemade – with or without an ice cream maker? After reading that you should take the ice cream out of the freezer and stir it every 30-60 minutes, especially when making homemade yogurt ice cream, I started looking for a “small” solution.
In the end, my small solution arrived a short time later, delivered directly on a pallet by a shipping company from Italy. When I do things, I like to do them right… and even if a pizza oven doesn’t fit in my kitchen at the moment, you never know what the future holds.
So I decided to go for a really good ice cream machine, like in an ice cream parlor. I wanted something without easily breakable plastic screws and in the end my preference for ice cream won over. Since then, I haven’t bought a single ice cream from the supermarket. I would like to introduce you to my ice cream maker separately.
