Yup, it's exactly what the title says.... Green tea frozen yogurt! YUM!
I found this recipe on Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy who got the basis from David Lebovitz, one of my favorite chefs, whose book "The Perfect Scoop" I just bought yesterday, aaaaahhhh!!!!! (I'm so happy!!!!)
...*catching my breath*...
(I only had full-fat yogurt, not Greek, so I drained it over night. And I also halved the recipe because I only had 2 cups of yogurt left)
Matcha Frozen Yogurt
by Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar (I used powdered sugar because I was paranoid that it wouldn't dissolve)
- 1 Tbsp matcha powder
Mix everything together until completely blended. Chill in the fridge for a few hours then churn the mix in the ice cream machine* as according to the manufacturer's instruction.
Freeze & enjoy. I know I couldn't stop...
*(If you don't have an ice cream maker, the beat-it-every-30-minutes-for-3-hours will probably work. I made vanilla ice cream like that once and it worked perfectly well)
I'm off to go buy more yogurt for my next batch.
Your matcha fro-yo looks terrific, Tramie! I'm so glad you decided to try it, and that you liked it! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI AM SO MAKING THIS!!!!!!! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love love love The Perfect Scoop (have had it for half a year now and read it on a weekly basis, trying to figure out which flavor to make next- you should try the blackcurrant tea sometime). I love his green tea ice cream recipe and just started making frozen yoghurt (made blueberry yesterday), so this might be a good one for me over the summer- a little lighter than that heavy, rich, French ice cream!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea using powdered sugar instead of granulated- I bet it would give a smoother texture. Thanks for the tip!

so I just tried this recipe but had to use what I had on hand. I had one cup of plain yogurt, but thought no problem, I'll just use vanilla yogurt to make up the rest. Worst idea ever! I also wondered about the sugar dissolving so I used a little honey with the sugar. Also a very bad idea! Instead of tasting like green tea frozen yogurt, it just tastes like vanilla, honey, with a touch of green tea, which tastes nice but doesn't taste at all like what I'd hoped.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Oh sucky! Sorry to hear!!!!
ReplyDeleteya, the vanilla must have killed it Im pretty sure... Cuz I mean, honey and green tea together can't be bad... Hope you make it again though, cuz it is so yummy!!!
yay, glad i found this post-- am totes adding this recipe to my list of must-makes!! :)
