So what is the secret behind making frozen yogurt at home without an ice cream machine? Here it is frozen fruit. When you use frozen fruit as your base for frozen yogurt what it does is when it blends up it gets lovely and thick. It doesn't get watery. It incorporates air and then it makes it really good for freezing. So no matter what fruit you're using make sure it's frozen and then add that in to your food processor. We are making peach melba which is raspberry and peaches. Two flavors that are best friends. So we're going to start out with our peach layer here. Next we're going to add in our yogurt. Now you can use any yogurt you like. You can use Greek. You can use plain. You can use non-dairy. Whatever works for you. So our next ingredient in our frozen yogurt is some honey. Now this brings out a little bit of the sweetness in the fruit. Yes but it also makes your frozen yogurt scoopable. So this is a really important ingredient and also it's a natural sugar. And then last but not least we're going to add in a little splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Now what this does it just kind of balances the flavor in our frozen yogurt and it kind of just makes everything kind of sing together. So we're going to add that in and then we have our lid on there. Now all you want to do is just pulse this up until it gets nice and smooth and everything is blended well together. Okay lovely. Now let me give you a little tip. During the summertime fruit is at its most plentiful. It's at its cheapest and that's at its best. So what I like to do is I buy all my fruit, my berries, everything when they're in season and then what I do is I lay them out flat. I freeze them and then I have frozen fruit to use for months on end. And that fruit will work perfectly for so many of my recipes especially my frozen yogurt. So this is the first step. Pop your peach layer into a bowl. Then we're going to put it into the freezer while we make our second raspberry layer. So here are our frozen raspberries. I have to say frozen raspberries are one of my most favorite things in the world. So I'm making this flavor a little bit selfishly. And just like before we're going to add in our yogurt, our delicious runny honey and our splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then on with our lid and blend up like before. So the recipe that I'm showing you for the frozen yogurt can be actually customized to any of your favorite fruit, strawberry, melon, whatever you like. You can use that amount of frozen fruit, a little bit of yogurt, honey, lemon juice and you will have for yourself your very own frozen yogurt. There we go. That's it. Lovely and smooth. Look at the color of that. So vibrant and it actually smells delicious. So I'm going to grab our peaches, grab our ice cream tubs and we can get it into the freezer. So now here is the really fun part of this recipe. We are going to add one of the layers into the other and create this kind of ripple effect. So you get the best of both worlds. You get a little bit of peach, a little bit of raspberry in every single bite and the color and the contrast just looks amazing. Peaches are a little bit creamy. The raspberries are kind of sharp and have this beautiful, vibrant pink. Now I'm just going to take a spoon and very carefully, not too many times, just give a few stirs together and you see how you get that lovely ripple effect just like that, almost like tie dye. Once it's stirred, go ahead and put it straight into your freezable container. So I came up with these no churn recipes because I was hearing from a lot of fans that they don't have ice cream machines and I didn't have an ice cream machine either, but I still wanted to make frozen yogurt, sorbet, ice cream at home, but this is a really easy way to do it. Okay, on with our lid. Now all you want to do is pop this into the freezer for a few hours until it's frozen, preferably overnight and then it's ready to scoop. Okay, once it is frozen, it is ready to be scooped and that is perfect timing for our frozen yogurt party. You can get really fun with this recipe, especially if there's kids around, you can dress it up, you can make it a whole big event. You can also try some of my other flavors of frozen yogurt like cookies and cream and blueberry cheesecake. This is so satisfying, it's refreshing, it's cooling. Peach Melba is a classic 70s flavor but you know what, it still works really good today. The flavors complement each other, the colors are gorgeous and it is just so perfect for a hot day here in Southern California.
