Pineapple Orange Frozen Yogurt

Indulge in this tropical delight that bursts with fresh fruit flavors, a perfect way to stay refreshed and beat the heat throughout the balmy days of summer.

• 3 ingredients
• 15 minutes
• 3 Servings

Ingredients

1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned

Directions

1. Place the yogurt and fruit into a large plastic bag. Spread it out evenly and leave it in the freezer overnight.
2. The next day, take out a food processor or blender and combine the frozen fruit, yogurt, and juice. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency.
3. The frozen fruit and yogurt blend can either be served right away or returned to the freezer for up to an hour to let it harden a bit more. If you choose to freeze it longer, remember to stir it occasionally to maintain a smooth texture. Give it a final stir before serving.

Notes

Use Fresh Fruit: When in season, using fresh pineapple and oranges can make a significant difference in flavor. If fresh fruit isn't available, frozen is the next best thing.

Sweetness Adjustment: Taste your fruit before adding any additional sweetener. The ripeness and natural sweetness of your fruit will determine how much additional sweetener you need, if any.

Yogurt Type: If you prefer a tangier frozen yogurt, opt for plain Greek yogurt. For a creamier, less tart version, try using regular vanilla yogurt.

Consistency Matters: For the creamiest frozen yogurt, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker. If you don't have one, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every half an hour until it reaches the desired consistency.

Serving: Frozen yogurt is best enjoyed immediately after churning for a soft-serve consistency. If you prefer a harder, more scoopable dessert, transfer the churned yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours before serving.

Storage: Store leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer. It's best enjoyed within two weeks.

Add-ins and Toppings: Consider mix-ins such as mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut before freezing, or top your serving with fresh fruit or granola for extra texture and flavor.
