Frozen Yogurt Recipe
Say hello to this creamy and sweet frozen yogurt. This simple treat is so easy to make! You only need a few ingredients and an ice cream maker to whip it up fast!
This frozen treat is as easy to make as it is to love. No need to search for “frozen yogurt near me”—you can have any fruity flavor in less time than it takes to drive to the store.
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. I love 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.
How To Make This Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
- Add the first five ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and follow the instructions to freeze it until it’s the way you like it.
- Eat right away with your favorite toppings, or freeze in a sealed container to make it firmer.
Toppings For Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
- Sauces: Try hot fudge, caramel, butterscotch, fruit syrups, honey, or whipped cream.
- Fruit: Add bananas, berries, kiwi, mango, peaches, or pineapple.
Chocolate: Use brownie bites, chocolate chips, sprinkles, candy bars, toffee, M&M’s, or edible brownie batter.
Crunch: Add granola, cereals (Cocoa Pebbles, Cap’n Crunch, Fruity Pebbles), or Buncha Crunch.
Nuts: Include almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, or candied pecans.
Storage
Leftovers?
- Transfer to an airtight container, press parchment on top, and freeze. For easy portions, use single-serve containers with a little space for expansion.
- How to Thaw: Let sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes, then stir and scoop!

Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Recipe
Make the best Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with just four ingredients! Quick, easy, and packed with vanilla bean flavor—your ice cream maker does all the work!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups vanilla yogurt full-fat, 35 ounces, see note 1
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar see note 2
- 1/16 teaspoon salt optional
- Toppings as desired such as fresh fruit, chopped candy/cookies, cereal, etc.
Instructions
- In a large blender (or in batches), combine the first 5 ingredients in the listed order until fully mixed.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the desired fro-yo consistency, typically around 30 minutes to an hour.
- Once it’s ready, enjoy plain or with your favorite toppings. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for a firmer texture.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Yogurt sweetness varies by brand. Use a flavorful, full-fat yogurt you enjoy from the container. I prefer Noosa vanilla bean yogurt.
Note 2: Reduce sugar by up to 1/3 cup for a more tart frozen yogurt.
Storage: Store leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer. Press a piece of parchment directly on top to prevent ice crystals. Let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before scooping!
