Mock Frozen Yogurt

Yum

Can I now offer you the perfect little side dish to go with your Taco Corn Fritters? This Mock Frozen Yogurt is so very easy and really, really tasty too.

I have no idea why I felt the need to say that. It really is sort of a “duh” statement because if I didn’t feel like it was tasty, would I actually post the recipe on my blog? How would that look…”I don’t really like eating this dish, but I thought I’d post it for you anyway so you could be grossed-out along with me. Feel free to stink up your kitchen and tell your kids that the Heavenly Homemaker made you do it. Be sure to come back and share your gag stories.” I would never do that. And yet I still felt the need to point out that the recipe tastes good. Duh.

So yeah, this recipe is really tasty! You should try it sometime! Anyway…

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it works great as a side dish or snack, but is also sweet enough to be a dessert. And in case I failed to mention it, this Mock Frozen Yogurt is really quite tasty. :)

Mock Frozen Yogurt

3 cups any varieties of frozen fruit (I used blueberries, peaches and strawberries)
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup grade B real maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Place frozen fruit in a food processor.

Add plain yogurt, vanilla and maple syrup.

Blend until all ingredients are well mixed. Easy as that!

Serve right away as a side dish, snack or dessert! I LOVE it when desserts are this healthy!!

And there you go. Come back for more tasty (and gluten free!) recipes all week long!

What are your favorite frozen fruits to use in treats??

    It’s like a thicker version of the fruit & yogurt smoothies I make us for breakfast every morning. I’ll bet after 15 minutes in the freezer, you could scoop it into a cone :)

    I make something very similar as a breakfast smoothie, but with much less sweetner – honey in my case. Bananas work well. Also, did you know you can make it in advance and re-freeze in individual servings. I pull one out in the morning and either microwave it briefly or just let it sit for awhile, stir it up, and you have a smoothie or your mock frozen yogurt! Yum. I’m going to try maple syrup in my next batch of smoothies.

    mock icecream…. just blend up some frozen bananas! Add in like agave nectar or similar, plus some pecans for butter pecan ‘ice cream’. Or add whatever else you want in it or on it. Totally healthy, totally cheap, and totally, totally delicious!!!! Reminds me that I need to start freezing more bananas!

    We have a recipe very similar to that! On nights when daddy won’t be home for dinner and mommy feels lazy, we have “shake and noodles”, which is this recipe and Ramen noodles using my own doctored up chicken stock/broth instead of the msg filled packet they include. And no, we don’t eat them together. Eww. We eat the “shake” first.. The kids all cheer when they hear that shake and noodles is for dinner. In fact, I think I’m about to hear some cheering. :)

    This is kinda like the smoothies we sometimes make. Our favorite fruits are any type of berry (or multiple types) and some banana. Adding the banana also means we don’t have to use as much sweetener.

    Yum! I recently got a Vitamix, so I think I will try using it to make this recipe. It sounds great–really “tasty!” ; ) We make smoothies often and use all different kinds of fruit, both fresh and frozen. One of my favorites is to use frozen watermelon. We grew some last year and cut it up and froze it. It works great in smoothies, and with a Vitamix you can even use the seeds.

    I also like to use Kefir when I make things like this. I usually use honey to sweeten it. I also like to put it back in the freezer so it can harden up a little. When I scoop it with an ice cream scoop after it hardens it feels so much more like a dessert :)

    I keep a gallon bag in the freezer and anytime we have fruit that is about to go back, I clean it, slice it and throw it in the bag. When it’s time to make smoothies, we go to the fruit and see what’s in there.

    I make smoothie pops for my kids all of the time (even winter). You could make this even healthier by adding in some spinach or powdered greens (which will be hidden by the taste of the fruit and sweetener), add some protein powder (whey or vegan), and use some stevia to cut down on the maple syrup. I make mine in a blender. I freeze mine in silicone molds that keep all of the juice in the bottom as they melt while being eaten for the kids to drink when done. I found them on Amazon.

    If you freeze this will it be like frozen yogurt or will it be hard as a rock?

    What makes frozen yogurt have a soft texture?

    • Laura says

      August 13, 2011 at 4:49 pm

      It would become hard if you freeze it like this. If you want soft frozen yogurt, you’d need to make it in an ice cream machine with ice and rock salt.
