Equipment

Ingredients

Creamy Base

  • 2 cups frozen banana chunks
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (substitute agave nectar)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (substitute lime juice)
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt (refrigerated overnight)
  • 4 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, or peaches)
Cups - Metric

Instructions

For the Creamy Base:

  • Place all the ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. Allow it to sit for a few minutes for the frozen bananas to soften slightly. Process on low speed until broken down.
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Process again, gradually increasing the speed to achieve a smooth texture.

For the Frozen Yogurt:

  • Add frozen fruit of choice. Let it sit for a few minutes for the frozen fruit to soften slightly. Use a rubber spatula to push the fruit down into the creamy base.
  • Pulse on low speed until the frozen fruit starts to break down. Remove the lid and scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the mixture, so the fruit is distributed throughout. Cover and pulse again on low speed. Repeat this process until you reach the desired texture (leaving some bits of the fruit can leave a beautiful finished product).
  • Optional: Add bits of mashed fresh fruit, such as mashed strawberries, to add color, texture, and flavor to the finished scoops.
  • For Soft Serve: Serve immediately in individual serving cups.
  • For Frozen Servings: Transfer to a freezer-safe container and place a piece of parchment paper over the top to prevent ice formation on the top layer. Place in the freezer for 4 hours, up to overnight. It will keep for up to 1 month.

Notes

If you freeze the frozen yogurt overnight, it becomes very firm. Sit it out on the counter for a few minutes to soften before serving.
