Frozen yogurt batch #1

[ffutures]

...was one 500ml tub of low fat yogurt, one table spoon of sugar (brown, since I forgot to get white), one teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Worked pretty well, but not as sweet as I'd like for a vanilla ice cream substitute. I'll try two spoons of sugar next time, and/or add some sort of fruit.

Many thanks again to raygungothic for the machine - I suspect it will see a LOT of use!

I've got a simple recipe I use for making frozen goat yogurt that calls for yogurt, evaporated milk, sugar, corn starch and whatever flavorings you want to add (the original recipe called for chocolate, but I've had success in using other flavorings).

Ah! And here's the link to the original. Measurements are in American, but should be easily converted: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-frozen-yogurt/detail.aspx

Obviously, I use goat yogurt and evaporated goat milk instead of cow, but I love it because it's simple and uses things I generally have sitting around the house already.

It's the sugar that I find problematic - I need to lose a fair amount of weight, and I want to keep fat and sugar as low as possible. I'm reasonably happy with the current mix, if it's just a little sweeter, but I think the way to fix that might be to use white sugar instead of brown, rather than a lot more.

You might want to try fiddling with it a bit... I was thinking that the addition of the evaporated milk to what you already have might make for a better frozen yogurt base. It's always a lot of fun to figure these things out!

Thanks, I'll take a look.
