It's 110 and I Want Fro-Yo

Awhile ago, I was cruising the aisle of the commissary and came across this Chobani Key Lime Pie Crumble Greek Yogurt. I ate quite a few of them and really wanted to try to make Key Lime Pie. Then I read recipes and I was like, "Yikes. Raw eggs."

Then, a few weeks down the line, I was eating some plain Greek yogurt and dark chocolate sauce and I thought, "This would be great frozen."

So, at first I tried to make it in the blender, like a smoothy. That wasn't what I wanted. So, I broke down and got out the ice cream maker.

My mom got Pilot Boy an ice cream maker when he graduated pilot training many moons ago. Pilot Boy loves ice cream. Well, mostly Dairy Queen ice cream, but he'll eat other ice cream as well. Anyways, we used it I think twice before we left the Dirt Hole. Shortly after I discovered Pinterest and desperately wanted Cake Batter ice cream because there were no Cold Stones in Alaska, I took it back out and used it a few times. The Cake Batter ice cream went horribly. I also wanted to try something more healthy, so I tried Cake Batter frozen yogurt.

It worked! And it was good! And healthier than ice cream!

Since arriving the land of Okies where most days (even in the winter) it's way too hot to function, I did not unearth the ice cream maker till recently. Why? Because we had a crummy batch of strawberries that I thought I could turn into frozen yogurt. 

The berries went bad before the container was frozen, so that idea died. 

BUT...

Since the bowl was already in the freezer, I mixed up some yogurt and chocolate and made some frozen greek yogurt. 

The chocolate batch wasn't that great. It was a little too tangy, likely due to the plain greek yogurt I used. Also, everything I use baking chocolate in never tastes right. 

I washed the bowl, put it back in the freezer and decided to try again. While picking up things to make more, I found Key Lime Greek Yogurt. Without the crumble stuff. I stared, mouth open and grabbed up six of them. (I also picked up some watermelon. I ate that one yesterday just to taste it and think it'll be good as frozen yogurt too.)

Today, I looked up recipes on Pinterest, found a simple one, and got down to work. 

Key Lime (Or whatever flavor) Greek Frozen Yogurt: The Recipe.

6 containers of Chobani Key Lime (or whatever) Greek Yogurt 

(Next time I think I'll use seven. I didn't have exactly a whole quart, so I added three tablespoons because I thought it was a bit watery.) 

1/2 can low fat (or high fat if you really want) condensed milk 

(I might have used more, as the can claimed to be 14 fl oz, so I measured out 7 fl oz, but there seemed to be less than half left over in the can when I was done.) 

1 tablespoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

Add all ingredients together, mix, and dump into an ice cream maker. Follow the ice cream maker's directions. 

Once done, scoop into a freezer safe container and put it in the freezer. It'll harden up, so just let it sit on the counter a wee bit before eating.
