Receta Blueberry Frozen Yogurt #IceCreamWeek
Welcome to Day 3 of Ice Cream Week 2014! This year the event is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. We have teamed up with 25 amazing bloggers to treat you to tons of amazing ice cream recipes. Ice Cream Week is shaping up to be the best week ever!
Today's recipe is for a delicious, creamy Blueberry Frozen Yogurt. It's a bit less sinful than the last recipe and quite a bit less sinful than the post I've got planned for Friday of this week. Sweet plump blueberries in creamy low-fat Greek yogurt could not be a nicer way to end summer, dontcha think?
You will need an ice cream maker for this recipe. (If you don't have one, make sure to enter the giveaway below for a chance to win one!!) But this recipe is really very easy to put together.. Once again, the hardest part is waiting for it to freeze. (Which I think is true for all frozen treats!)
I changed the original recipe very little. It called for full fat Greek yogurt, which I was unable to find. I subbed low-fat yogurt with good results. I imagine it would be wonderful make with full fat yogurt too! The Greek yogurt is great to use because it has less water content, making for less ice crystals when it freezes. I have not tried this recipe with non-fat Greek yogurt, but if you do, let me know what you think!
I used frozen blueberries in this recipe, but I think just about any kind of frozen berry would work too!! Or a combination of several. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me!
