Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Orange Juice
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt
- Sugar to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the orange juice and sugar.
- Whisk the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the Greek yogurt and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into an airtight container.
- Freeze for at least 8-10 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Garnish with orange zest (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a creamier texture, strain your Greek yogurt through a cheesecloth for an hour before mixing to remove excess whey, resulting in a richer frozen yogurt.
- If you want extra orange flavor, add a teaspoon of finely grated orange zest to the mixture before freezing—the zest infuses the yogurt with fragrant citrus oils.
- For an adult twist, stir in a tablespoon of orange liqueur (like Grand Marnier or Cointreau); this enhances flavor and also helps keep the frozen yogurt scoopable.
- To serve with flair, freeze the mixture in popsicle molds or spoon it into hollowed-out orange halves for a fun, edible presentation at parties.
Expert Tips
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest results. Low-fat or non-fat yogurt can result in an icy texture.
- Sweeten to taste. Start with a smaller amount of sweetener than the recipe calls for and add more until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
- Don't overmix the frozen yogurt. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, leading to a less dense final product.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before scooping.
