Instructions

Add the base ingredients to a blender: Add the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt or yogurt of choice, 1/3 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, Pinch of salt
Blend until smooth: Blend for about 20-30 seconds, just until smooth. Start Timer
Pour into container: Pour the mixture into an empty CREAMi™ Pint.
Freeze: Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours. (freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream, which can damage the blade, so be sure to leave it off).
Assemble: Remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
Spin it! Select the frozen yogurt program. If still icy and not creamy enough, respin 1x if needed :)
Enjoy: Remove the pint and enjoy right away with any mix-ins on top!
Garnish ideas: fresh berries, granola, sprinkles, chocolate chips, mint, chocolate syrup, etc.

Notes

Helpful Tips

- Don’t overblend: When mixing the base in the blender, you only need to blend for ~20-30 seconds. If you blend too long, your yogurt mixture will become foamy and won’t fit in the pint container.

- Don’t skip the freezing: Make sure to allow your pint at least 24 hours to freeze before spinning. This step is crucial to the process! I have tested after 8-12 hours frozen, and while it does work, the consistency is not as thick and creamy.

- Freeze with no lid: It’s important to freeze the pint on a level surface and without the lid. If you freeze it with the lid on, it can form a hump on the top which can damage the blade when you put it in the machine to spin

- Re-spins: If your pint isn’t smooth and creamy after the initial spin, you can re-spin until you get your desired consistency.

- Don’t overfill the container: Make sure not to overfill the pint container. The frozen yogurt will expand in volume as it spins so don’t worry if it looks like the pint isn’t initially full.
