How can I make my own Frozen Yogurt?
I would like to make my own frozen yogurt.
Do i use actual yogurt? or what?
Answers:
Technically, frozen yogurt can be made as a Kulfi, or an ice cream. There are many methods used to make frozen yogurt at home. The primary difference is how we thicken the mixture. Here is one of those methods:
1. Yogurt cheese (Hung Dahi)
This eliminates the need for thickening the mixture. Basic steps follow:
Line a colander with multiple layers of cheese cloth. Pour Yogurt. Let it drain for nearly 6 to 8 hours.
Add sweeteners such as powdered sugar, honey, or corn syrup.
Add chopped nuts, fruits, and flavorings such as Kewra, Rose, Vanilla.
Mix well.
Make Kulfi or Ice cream in an ice cream maker.
Frozen Shrikhand will be the best example of Frozen Yogurt Kulfi

FROZEN FRUIT-YOGURT POPS (Or
Smoothies)
1 qt. vanilla yogurt
Divide into several 1 cup servings and freeze to be used as needed
(Any time we buy bananas and 1 or 2 get beyond our preference, I just peel the banana, cut it in 3-4 pieces and place in a container in the freezer.)
(Any ripe fruit or fruit salad that may have lost some visual appeal also place in container in freezer. I use 1 container as a fruit catchall. If my son doesn't finish an apple and it gets slightly brown or if I make a huge summer fruit salad and the next day it doesn't look very pretty I freeze it or make fruit pops or smoothies today.) Tupperware Popsicle molds or small paper cups and Popsicle sticks
The day you wish to make these, take your blender out, a small container of yogurt and the ripe frozen fruit from the freezer. Break the yogurt into 2-4 pieces with a knife - be careful. Place in blender. Add some pineapple juice and blend. (Add enough liquid to your own preference.) Place 4-6 chunks of frozen banana or less banana with some other fruit. I've even added applesauce. Add more pineapple juice if necessary. Spin it together.
Fill up Popsicle molds first. Serve the rest as a nutritious smoothie.
