Total Frozen Greek Yogurt

 

Now when the lovely people at Total Greek Yogurt sent me a huge consignment of lovely creamy yogurt, I was a bit alarmed that I might not get through it all before the sell by date.  It doesn't expire until early December, but there is a LOT!
So I thought I would see if I could make it last longer by creating a frozen yogurt.  My research on the internet led me to this simple recipe:


Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Recipe
First of all it is important to use good quality whole-milk yogurt.  I believe it is also very good without the vanilla flavouring, but I haven't tried it yet.

3 cups (720g) strained yogurt (see below) or Greek-style yogurt
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Mix togther the yogurt, sugar and vanilla (if using).  Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Making strained yogurt:  To make 1 cup (240g) of strained yogurt, line a mesh striner with a few layers of cheese cloth.  Then scrape 17 ounces or 2 cups (480g) of plain whole-milk yougrt into the cheesecloth.  Gather the neds an dfold them over the yogurt, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.  So, for the above recipe start with and strain 6 cups of yogurt.

Recipe from 101 Cookbooks

Now just in case you get the impression that I am always cooking everything from scratch, let me just tell you that the lovely cherry & plum crumble I served with the Frozen Yogurt came straight from Marks & Spencer lol!

The Evidence!

Cooking and Blogging

Have really had no time for proper cooking - we are living on M&S this weekend. I am having a craft related weekend (read about it on my other blog). I did manage to make another clever quickie pudding though. I used the rest of the pastry shells I bought in Marks a couple of weeks ago, filled them with mincemeat and put some crumble mix on the top, in the oven for 10 minutes and they were lovely with custard.

Think it's going to be manic till Christmas, but I have a big dinner to do for DH's cousins on 16th, so my blog some of that.

Instant Pudding

I took this pic last night when preparing the tea. I meant to take a picture of the completed pudding which consisted of the M&S tartlets filled with cold stewed apples, greek yogurt and sprinkled with the M&S posh pomegranate infused granola. I was half way through eating said delight when I remembered I hadn't taken the picture! You will have to believe me when I say, it was very yummy and just soooo quick and easy.
