Tart Frozen Yogurt > Studying

Keeping the bowl of the ice cream making attachment of the KitchenAid mixer in the freezer is successfully encouraging Emma and me to make more ice cream and ice cream-analogs. She definitely spear-headed this recipe too, and I think it's brilliant.

Tart Frozen Yogurt
2 1/2 cups Trader Joe's 2% Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Place mix in the bowl part of your ice cream maker. Hit Start. Wait 20-30 minutes. Enjoy your Pinkberry-style frozen treat.

Notes

• I'm sure brands other than Trader Joe's would work; my favorite greek yogurt tends to be Fage because I find it to be thickest. Similarly, I'm sure you could up the fat content of the yogurt for a creamier final product.
• If you don't have or don't want to use agave, replace the 1/2 with 3/4 sugar. This may also work with an artificial sweetener if you're trying to cut down on calories, but I haven't tried it so if it doesn't work out, not my B.
• As it was with the previous ice cream recipe, reserve any mix-ins you want for when the yogurt is done being churned. Ideas: granola, nuts, berries, chocolate chips, candies, dried fruits.
• Allowing your pet to clean out the greek yogurt container is entirely optional, though completely adorable.

Cost

• A half-cup of greek yogurt + a tbsp or so of agave + vanilla = at or under 180 calories. Pretty damn good for dessert.
• Greek yogurt can very greatly when it comes to price, usually from about $3 to $6. That means a batch of this will run probably between $6 - $12. Considering a single serving from a fancy yogurt place is often somewhere between $4-$7, this ain't bad.
