Apricot Frozen Yogurt

 

I’m so happy to be a guest blogger for Erin today.  Erin never fails to deliver great recipes with universal appeal.  Each time I visit I know I will walk away either thirsty for her refreshing summer drinks, craving one of her easy-to-make main dishes or drooling over her mouthwatering cookies.  Like you, I really like that she offers a complete menu of great ideas from breakfast to dessert!

For my guest post I opted to go with a summer treat.  For me, most days this time of year do not go by without at least a taste of something cool and refreshing to beat the summer heat. 

If I don’t have homemade sorbet or ice cream in the freezer, my husband and I will often find ourselves driving to our neighborhood frozen yogurt shop for dessert.  His favorite?  Tropical-flavored sorbets.  Mine?  I’m partial to a combination of cookies-n-cream and honey dew.  Once I discovered this magic pairing, I stopped considering all other flavors.

Yielding to my current obsession with apricots, I decided to make apricot frozen yogurt.  We won’t have them much longer this season so I jumped at the chance to capture their freshness in a way I haven’t tried before.  Like most frozen yogurt recipes this one couldn’t be easier.  Your ice cream maker does all the work while you get to reap all the rewards. 

What You’ll Need

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.

  • Fresh Apricots
  • Sugar
  • Lime Juice
  • Plain Yogurt – for best results full fat yogurt is advised
  • Pear Vodka – the addition of alcohol helps to prevent icy results.  Alcohol doesn’t freeze so a tablespoon or two will help to achieve a smoother, easier-to-scoop frozen yogurt

This frozen yogurt has bold apricot flavor with a slight tang from the yogurt.  With this new recipe in my repertoire, I may not be making as many trips to my neighborhood frozen yogurt shop this summer.  I hope you’ll try it!

  1. This yogurt looks so delicious! I used to work at Menchie’s and became totally addicted to the yogurt there, but this looks like something that I might like even more 🙂
