Quick Tip

You’ll need an ice cream maker for this frozen yogurt. Here’s the one I use and love.

4 Simple Ingredients

To make great vanilla frozen yogurt at home, start with some good ingredients:

Yogurt: Opt for high-quality vanilla bean yogurt you like on its own. Skip low-fat or fat-free kinds—they make the yogurt too thin. It is satisfying to Noosa vanilla bean yogurt.
Heavy cream: Don’t use milk. Only heavy cream can get the right texture.
Vanilla and salt: Vanilla adds flavor, and a pinch of salt makes it taste better. Use vanilla bean paste or extract—both work great. Learn more about their differences here.
Sugar: Sweetens the yogurt. Use less for a tangier flavor or more if your yogurt isn’t very sweet.

Blending the ingredients then adding them to the ice cream maker.
