Frozen Yogurts
Rich Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
While part-skim or fat-free yogurt can be substituted, to get
the real flavor and richness of this frozen yogurt it is best to
use the whole milk variety.
Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)
1½ tablespoons light corn syrup
1½ tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons water
2 vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped
5 cups whole milk plain yogurt, strained through a
cheesecloth* for 2 to 4 hours
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ cup granulated sugar
pinch salt
1. Put the corn syrup, honey, water and vanilla beans into a
medium saucepan. Over medium-low heat, bring mixture
to a boil, then simmer until reduced by about half. Strain
(discarding vanilla pods); reserve.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the strained yogurt,
reserved honey/water/vanilla reduction, vanilla extract,
sugar and salt together. Whisk until the sugar has
dissolved. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, or
overnight.
3. Turn on the Cuisinart
®
ice cream maker; pour the mixture
into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened,
about 15 to 20 minutes. The frozen yogurt will have a
soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired,
transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and
place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer
about 15 minutes before serving.
* If you do not have a cheesecloth, you can use a couple
of layered paper towels.

and 1 cup of the yogurt mixture. Combine with the
remaining yogurt/sugar mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1
to 2 hours, or overnight.
