I’ve yet to taste commercial frozen yoghurt as it has sugar in it, but I’ve longed for it for quite some time now. I love yoghurt but in an attempt to reduce my dairy intake I’ve had to come up with some alternatives. When I mentioned to my friend Kim that we could get green (young) coconuts here, she sent me a recipe for coconut yoghurt. However since she sent me the recipe I’ve not been able to get the juvenile coconuts, or source coconut water anywhere. I adapted her recipe and once I had made the yoghurt I decided that as it was so thin I would turn it into frozen yoghurt. This recipe is tart and if you prefer things sweeter then add some honey to the mixture before churning.
have you ever made your own yoghurt?
Frozen Yoghurt
Ingredients
- 1 tin coconut cream
- 15 mls lemon juice
- 5 mls vanilla extract
- 250 g mixed berries
Method
- Place the coconut cream, lemon juice and vanilla into a container
- Mix well and refrigerate overnight
- Add the berries to the yoghurt and place into your ice cream maker
- Churn until thick – this took me 10 minutes in my Kitchen Aid churner

With my frozen yoghurt I made a smoothie using a banana and 15mls of honey. It was really tasty and healthy! I keep bananas in the freezer in the skin. I only do this because I am lazy. But if I had the time and the inclination, I would peel them and cut them into chunks.

this sounds yummy– i love coconut ice cream or yogurt–i had a lovely coconut, coffee ice cream and a coconut mango yogurt on my recent trip to india
coconut and mango sounds like a match made in heaven!
What an excellent ( I was going to say cool) idea. I tried some coconut water when last in London, and have been trying to get it here with no success.
I have just today found a source for it!
How refreshing and so perfectly pink for Valentines day!
I never even thought of the day of love when I made it 🙂
What an unusual recipe, Tandy! It sounds intriguing, and tasty!
and worth making again 🙂
I’ve made my own ice cream but never frozen yogurt. This vegan version sounds fabulous!
I was so impressed with it that I am going to try again with some reduced fat coconut milk I got by mistake 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try making frozen yoghurt. This sounds so simple and it is such a beautiful color. Now you have me craving some!
this is very simple Sarah 🙂
ooh, yum!
I’ve never tried making my own yoghurt…it is on the list for when the diary calves mature into our milking cows though 😀
Sarah xx
your own milk will make the yoghurt really amazing!
I love frozen yoghurt and this sounds really good Tandy!
It is so easy to make Jacs 🙂
Wonderful Tandy. I think my kids would love this after school this afternoon.
And it is a healthy treat!
I haven’t eaten yogurt in a while, but when I do it’s plain and no fat.
Yours sounds really delicious.
I like plain yoghurt but I prefer the full fat version 🙂
I’ve never made my own yogurt. This looks delicious!
It is worth making your own 🙂
Just in time for when I get my ice-cream maker. Yum yum.
I love the idea of dessert far more than I like most of them (too much sugar) so I am really looking forward to making my own (sweetish) treats at levels sweetness I enjoy.
you are going to love making your own frozen yoghurts!
What a wonderful frozen treat. I love the beautiful color from the berries too. 🙂
Thank you Amy, and thank you for the visit 🙂
