Homemade Frozen Yogurt Recipe

Frozen yogurt has now become a staple in most homes. It is just as good to the taste as ice cream but with less than half the calories and less or no fat at all. Frozen yogurt also gives you the benefit of lactobacillus bacteria which is a great aid in digestion. Frozen yogurt is also a great source of protein making it a chock full of health. Making your own homemade frozen yogurt recipe is a great alternative to buying ones from the store. By doing so you can eliminate certain preservatives and artificial additives from your cold dessert treat. For someone attempting to make his or her own recipe it is best to learn a popular one first as a guide to make your own tasty and healthy concoction. French vanilla yogurt is among the easiest and most popular homemade frozen yogurt recipes you can make. The ingredients are:

half a cup of evaporated milk
two teaspoons of gelatin (unflavored)
2/3 cup of raw sugar
a pinch of salt
2 beaten egg yolks
2 cups of plain whole milk yogurt
2 tablespoons of vanilla
2 egg whites

Get the milk warm just below boiling point; add sugar, salt and gelatin until all ingredients are dissolved. Start beating the egg yolks until they are frothy. Begin gradually adding the froth into your mixture gradually till the mix thickens. If you're satisfied with the texture set it aside to cool down. Once cool enough add yogurt and vanilla then chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed then proceed to gently folding them into your mixture. At this point all you need to do is chum the batch in a standard two quart ice cream freezer then you're done: one simple yet very tasty homemade frozen yogurt recipe.
