Coconut Banana Frozen Yogurt
Frozen yogurt is such an easy thing to make at home – and so much better than anything you buy at the store. This recipe calls for a coconut milk yogurt - making it dairy-free – unless you add the cream cheese…….which, if dairy is not an issue for you – you are going to want to use it. The cream cheese makes this such a creamy, smooth, rich, decadent thing – you have to try it – at least once! (You are welcome.)

Notes
I have used 2 cups of yogurt in this recipe for several reasons:
This recipe fits my ice cream freezer (Cuisinart)
This yogurt comes in a 24 oz container
It can easily be doubled.
The recipe calls for a raw egg. If you have concerns about using raw eggs and would like to find out how to pasteurize eggs at home, click here
