Frozen Yogurt Affogato Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE FROZEN YOGURT RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the frozen strawberries, banana, yogurt, orange extract (or vanilla extract), honey, sugar, and corn syrup in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade or a heavy duty blender.
• Blend until everything is combined into a creamy smoothie-like mixture. Taste, and if you like it sweeter add a bit more honey.
• Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container and smooth the surface. Press a piece of parchment against the top of the yogurt to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• To serve, allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for a few minutes just until soft enough to scoop. Scoop the amount you need (long, shallow pulls or strokes will produce better scoops). Enjoy!

FROZEN YOGURT DOTS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Puree the mango or raspberries with an immersion blender in the blender cup until smooth. Add the yogurt and mix gently with a spoon, just to combine. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
• Squeeze thumbnail-size swirls of yogurt onto the prepared baking sheet in rows, about 50 dots in all. Put the baking sheet in the freezer until the dots are frozen, about 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• After the dots are frozen, they can be served immediately or transferred quickly to a small freezer-safe container and kept for later serving. The dots can be kept in an airtight freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

CHOCOLATE FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Stir together the cornstarch and sugar, and place in a saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, and chocolate chips. Cook over medium heat until chocolate is melted and the mixture is thickened. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
• Remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the plain yogurt and vanilla. Refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

FROZEN AFFOGATO

Steps:

• Make the espresso ice cream: Heat cream, milk, and ground espresso in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around edges. Remove from heat, cover, and let cream mixture steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Uncover cream mixture, and reheat until hot but not boiling. Whisk yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add hot cream mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until well combined. Return mixture to saucepan, and stir constantly over medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. (Do not let the mixture come to a simmer.)
• Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Discard solids. Set the bowl in the ice-water bath. Stir in vanilla, and let cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.
• Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a large container, and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. (Ice cream can be frozen overnight.)
• Make the frozen vanilla cream: Whisk cream, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a large bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Cover, and freeze until firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• To assemble: For each serving, arrange 3 scoops espresso ice cream and 2 smaller scoops frozen vanilla cream in a dish. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans, and serve immediately with biscotti.

FROZEN YOGURT DROPS

Steps:

• Transfer the yogurt to a small resealable plastic bag. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Snip off 1 corner of the bag and pipe dots onto the cookie sheet. Freeze until hard, 1 hour. Remove from paper and eat with fingers, mix into oatmeal or throw on top of berries.
