Have you ever wondered if it's possible to make delicious frozen yogurt at home? You'll be surprised at how easy it is with Thermomix! Not only will you be saving money by avoiding buying this dessert outside, but you'll also have the freedom to create customized and healthy versions in just a few steps.
Next, I'll explain how to make homemade frozen yogurt, using only three basic ingredients and a touch of patience. This creamy and refreshing delicacy will become one of your favorite desserts! Additionally, I'll provide ideas for topping combinations that will make your frozen yogurt an unmatched experience.
To start, the first thing is to make sure you have all the ingredients ready. You don't need much to make this recipe, but it's important that the yogurt is of good quality, as it is the base of our frozen yogurt.
Required ingredients (for 4 people)
100 g of sugar
400 g of Greek yogurt (10% fat recommended)
30 g of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 pinch of salt (optional, but enhances the flavors)
These basic ingredients are enough to prepare the creamiest frozen yogurt. The best thing about this recipe is that you can customize it to your liking by adding other flavors or toppings.
The process is very simple, and the Thermomix will do most of the work. You just need to follow the detailed steps below, and your dessert will be ready in a few hours.
Step 1 Powder the sugar
The first step is to transform the sugar into powder so that it mixes evenly with the yogurt. The Thermomix is ideal for this task, as you can achieve a very fine sugar texture in a matter of seconds.
Instructions
Place the 100 g of sugar in the Thermomix bowl.
Grind the sugar at speed 10 for 1 minute. Make sure it is completely powdered.
If necessary, use a spatula to scrape down any sugar stuck to the sides of the bowl.
Step 2 Mix the remaining ingredients
Now it's time to add the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. This combination of ingredients will give the frozen yogurt its characteristic sweet and refreshing flavor with a slight acidic touch.
Instructions
Add the 400 g of Greek yogurt, 30 g of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Combine all ingredients at speed 4 for 20 seconds, or until the mixture is homogeneous.
Step 3 Freeze the mixture
This step is crucial to achieve the correct texture of frozen yogurt. To make it easy to process later, we will freeze the mixture in an ice cube tray.
Instructions
Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone molds.
Cover with plastic wrap to prevent the mixture from absorbing freezer odors.
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the cubes are completely frozen.
Step 4 Process the Frozen Yogurt
Once the mixture is frozen, it's time to give it that creamy texture we love. The Thermomix will help us crush the frozen cubes until we get a smooth and creamy frozen yogurt.
Instructions
Remove the frozen cubes from the tray and place them in the Thermomix bowl.
Crush the cubes at speed 7 for 20 seconds. If the mixture is not creamy enough, you can process it for a few additional seconds until you reach the desired texture.
Ready! Your homemade frozen yogurt is ready to serve.
How to Serve and Customize Your Frozen Yogurt
One of the best things about frozen yogurt is that you can customize it to your liking with a variety of toppings. Below are some ideas to take your dessert to the next level.
1. Can I use a different type of yogurt other than Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer, but Greek yogurt will give it a creamier texture. If you use natural or low-fat yogurt, the result will be a lighter and less dense frozen yogurt.
2. Can I make this recipe without a Thermomix?
Yes, although the Thermomix makes the process easier, you can make this recipe using a blender or a food processor. Just make sure to blend the ingredients well and get a homogeneous mixture.
