Ingredients
2cupsnonfat plain yogurt
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cupchopped figs with skins, but stem removed
2tbsp.light agave syrup or honey
1tbsp.vanilla extract
2tbsp. pomegranate juice, fresh or bottled
2 tbsp. fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish
Instructions
Mix figs with brown sugar and allow to macerate and get juicy for about 15 minutes.
Purée macerated figs in a food processor until almost smooth. Some chunks are okay.
Mix puréed figs with all of the other ingredients and stir well. Place mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker.
Freeze and churn according the your directions until thick, but not too icy. You want frozen yogurt to be a little bit more like soft serve that frozen solid. This took about 10 minutes in our Whynter ice cream maker.
If you don’t finish the frozen yogurt right away, you can freeze it and it will become very solid, but just remove it from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to soften up a bit!
Notes
You can make frozen yogurt in your ice cream machine with any kind of fruit, nuts, cookie crumbles, or caramel or chocolate sauce or even candies. Here is a recipe for our homemade silky chocolate sauce and our Oreo Cooking Frozen Yogurt.We have two kinds of ice cream makers, the Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker with the bowl that you freeze for 24 hours before making your ice cream, and the Whytner 1.6 Quart Ice Cream Maker with a compressor included, so that you don’t have to pre-freeze the bowl. This ice cream maker, makes making ice cream a dream!
