How to Make this Silky Peach Frozen Yogurt
Blend 2 cups peeled and diced ripe peaches, ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a blender until silky smooth.
Pour this luscious mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours – trust me, the waiting will be worth it!
Once fully frozen, pop the container into your Ninja Creami and process according to the machine’s instructions.
If your frozen yogurt turns out a bit crumbly after the first spin (which can happen!), simply use the Re-spin function to achieve that perfect, creamy consistency you’re dreaming of.
Step 1. Blend Ingredients Until Smooth
Add peaches, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to your blender or food processor.
Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a completely smooth consistency with no chunks remaining.
The mixture should look creamy and have a uniform peachy color throughout.
Step 2. Pour Into Pint Container
Carefully pour your smooth peach mixture into a clean Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Tap the container gently against the counter a few times to release any air bubbles and guarantee even distribution.
Step 3. Freeze Overnight Until Solid
Place the filled pint container in your freezer and let it freeze completely solid for at least 24 hours.
For ideal texture, position the container upright and away from the freezer door to guarantee even freezing throughout.
Step 4. Process in Ninja Creami
Remove the frozen container from the freezer and install it into your Ninja Creami.
Select “Lite Ice Cream” mode and process until smooth.
If mixture appears crumbly, use the Re-spin function for a creamier consistency.
Scoop and serve immediately for the perfect silky frozen yogurt texture.
