🧾ingredients cost ~$9.64 USD yields 48oz; 1.1kg, 12 servings ~1/2c / $.80 each
✅what you’ll need to have:
volume in US cups and spoons; weight in grams
- 51/2 hr: 2min—prep, 1hr—fridge, 25min—churn, 3min—store, 4hr—freeze
- 2qt+ mixing bowl (maybe with lid; see direction 2)
- 1qt; 907g whole milk yogurt (not Greek because that’s too thick and not low-fat because that’s too thin) – I buy a 1qt tub and scrape in the whole thing
- 1c; 284g maple syrup (if using sweetened yogurt, like in the photo, lower to 3/4c; 213g) – I find this is enough sugar so the froyo will scoop easily but not so much that it’s too sweet
- 1tbs; 21g unsulphured molasses
- whisk, preferably French – a fork might work, too – I recommend this (over just using the spoonula) to easily break up potential clumps because I usually encounter them and you want this stuff smoooooth before chilling
- refrigerator
- spoonula
- ice cream maker (prepared as per its instructions, which usually requires freezing 24 hours in advance)
- freezer and freezer container/s
- or optional:
- spoon
- bowl
- toppings
- other people
📄 what you’ll need to do:
- whisk all ingredients into mixing bowl until smooth, about one minute
- refrigerate for an hour (or up to a week would be fine) – the mixture needs to be cold for best results – any longer (or if you have heavily scented stuff in your fridge) and you should cover it
- Follow machine instructions. That likely means freezing canister a day before churning in it and powering it on before filling it.
- scrape yogurt base into (as per machine instructions, likely on) ice cream maker
- churn 25 min, unless your machine instructs otherwise – should be thick but very soft; you can eat it now, but it’ll quickly melt into more of a drink
- scrape into container/s and freeze at least four hours and up to three months
- Enjoy it. Be proud of what you’ve done.
