Guess how old I am…
I am so old that I remember when frozen yogurt was tart like real yogurt…nothing like the soft serve stuff that I’ve been having for the last 20+ years. Recently, I mixed a combination of Cabot 2% Greek style yogurt, Trader Joe’s Reduced Sugar Blueberry Preserves, and a dash of vanilla extract for breakfast. After tasting the simple concoction, I realized that it tasted just like the frozen yogurt of my youth. I decided to make a larger batch and process it in a ice cream freezer…With the thickness of the Greek style yogurt doing all of the work, it produced a thick, creamy, tart frozen treat that just begged for some white chocolate sauce. Okay, it didn’t beg…that was all me 🙂

On a very important side note…
Please pay close attention to the preserves that you decide to use. While experimenting with other flavors, I ended up making a batch that contained a special ingredient…fiber. It worked!

| It looks like this…see how thick?! Freeze as you would ice cream |

Easy Blueberry Frozen Yogurt
Makes about 1 quart
1 qt. or 2lb. plain low-fat yogurt, I used Cabot’s 2% Greek Style
1 cup blueberry preserves, I used Trader Joe’s, Reduced Sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well blended. Transfer to ice cream freezer and process according to manufacturer’s directions. (Actually, the yogurt mixture is so thick, you can pour it into a 2qt lidded plastic container and freeze for 3 hours, stirring every 45 minutes . On the last stir, use a hand mixer to smooth out any lumps. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving with white chocolate sauce and frozen blueberries.
White Chocolate Sauce
makes about 3/4 cup
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon orange liquer
Place white chocolate and orange liquer in a shallow bowl. Heat heavy whipping cream in a sauce pan on low heat until simmering. Pour over white chocolate mixture and allow to chocolate to melt 2 minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow sauce to cool to room temperature before serving.
loved ur version…must try this one..:)
Tasty Appetite
I have never made ice cream at home. This looks soooo delicious…and it’s very dangerous to keep it at home… LOL.
Simple and delicious! Love it!
yummy yummy yummy…can you invite me too
This looks so fresh and it just screams summer. I just made my homdemade peach ice cream for the first time since last summer and boy there is nothing better than ice cream with fruit! Great recipe shawn!
This looks delish! It’s healthy too–this may be my new breakfast treat even.
Wow what a fabulous recipe ~ I bet it is soooo delicious!
This looks amazing- and with white chocolate sauce?! Oh my! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for using Cabot yogurt!

I think the white chocolate sauce would take it up a degree–total yum. I agree, the “frozen yogurt” you buy now tastes nothing like yogurt. No tart edge at all.
