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.)
- 2 cups So Delicious Coconut Milk "Yogurt" Vanilla flavor
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese optional
- 1 ripe banana – mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine the egg, sugar, salt and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
Mash the banana til thoroughly pureed. Set aside.
Soften the cream cheese by stirring, whipping, or mashing. Set aside
Put the yogurt into a mixing bowl.
Add the egg/sugar mixture and whisk to combine.
Add the cream cheese, if using, and blend well.
Add the mashed banana.
Taste the mixture to adjust the sweetness to your taste.
Pour into the bowl of your ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.
Pack into an air-tight container and freeze for several hours.
Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
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
