Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe peaches, diced (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- 1/3 cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (plus more for re-spins)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Dice fresh peaches or slightly thaw frozen peaches. Optionally macerate diced peaches with 1 tablespoon sugar for 20–30 minutes to enhance flavor and juice extraction.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey or sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons milk or cream until smooth and slightly pourable but not too thin.
- Incorporate Peaches: Fold in the diced peaches gently. Reserve a few diced pieces if you want to use them later as mix-ins to maintain texture variety.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the peach yogurt base into a Ninja Creami-compatible pint container. Smooth the top and freeze on a flat surface in the back of the freezer for at least 24 hours to ensure a fully frozen block for ideal texture.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Attach the Creami paddle to the pint and select the ice cream or frozen dessert setting according to your machine’s instructions. Process once to achieve creamy frozen yogurt.
- Adjust Texture if Needed: If the frozen yogurt is crumbly or powdery, drizzle 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream in the center well and re-spin until the desired creamy texture is reached. For too soft results, refreeze for 1–2 hours then re-spin.
- Add Mix-Ins: If desired, create a small well in the center of the yogurt, add reserved peach chunks, toasted almonds, or other mix-ins, and use the mix-in function or a gentle re-spin to incorporate.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately for best creaminess, or refreeze briefly (15–30 minutes) for a firmer scoop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for 1–2 weeks.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture, but 2% or non-dairy yogurts can also work with slight adjustments.
- Macerating peaches with sugar intensifies peach flavor and helps release natural juices.
- Freeze the pint for at least 24 hours on a flat surface to prevent ice crystals and ensure smooth texture.
- If the texture is grainy or icy, try adding milk or cream and re-spin in the Ninja Creami.
- Add mix-ins only after the first spin to maintain their texture.
- Peach frozen yogurt keeps best for up to one week for optimal texture and flavor.
- The recipe is adaptable: try adding fresh herbs like basil, spices like cinnamon, or mix-in nuts and fruit for variations.
