SWEET MATCHA FROZEN YOGURT RECIPES

 

 

Last week, I put together some matcha frozen yogurt and promised to report back. Well. I had a small dish as a treat yesterday afternoon and it was DELICIOUS!! So much so, that I’m going to share the recipe!

 

“But Jenny, I don’t have a Creami or other ice cream maker!”

 

Not to worry!! I also have a yummy, no machine needed version to share!

 

 

NO MACHINE NEEDED VERSION

Ingredients: 

- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt is fine if that’s your preference!)**

- 1/2 cup cream cheese*

- 3 Tbsp honey or agave syrup*

- 1 Tbsp vanilla

- 1 Tbsp orange zest

- 2 Sweet Orange Creamsicle matcha sticks

 

*needed to make the yogurt scoopable after being frozen 

**Substituting non-dairy milk and cream cheese is perfectly fine!!

 

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor, or blender.

2. Process 2-3 minutes until smooth and no lumps remain.

3. Pour into airtight container and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, but preferably 12 hours. 

4. Remove from freezer and enjoy!

 

NINJA CREAMI VERSION

Ingredients:

- 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (I used homemade vanilla yogurt, but have used Dannon Light & Fit with success in other variations in the Creami)

- 1 Tbsp vanilla

- 1 Tbsp orange zest

- 2 Sweet Orange Creamsicle matcha sticks

 

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients thoroughly

2. Pour into Creami pint container and add cover

3. Freeze for a minimum of 24 hours

4. Remove from freezer and let sit 15 min

5. Put into machine and process on regular ice cream function

6. Remove and check consistency, if powdery then use re-spin function until desired consistency. (I used 1 respin after the original spin)

7. Enjoy!
