Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the mangoes and bananas. Peel the ripe mangoes and carefully dice them into small pieces. Make sure to remove the pit. For the bananas, peel and slice them into rounds. Set both fruits aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes and sliced bananas. Blend them until they reach a smooth consistency, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.
- Add the plain yogurt to the blended fruit mixture. This will give the frozen yogurt its creamy texture. Blend again until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Next, add the honey and vanilla extract to the mixture. The honey will add natural sweetness, while the vanilla will enhance the overall flavor. Blend once more until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more honey if desired. Blend again briefly to mix any additional honey.
- Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, transfer it into an airtight container. Spread it evenly and flatten the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until it reaches a firm consistency.
- When ready to serve, remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to serve the mango banana frozen yogurt into bowls. You can garnish with additional slices of mango or banana if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade mango banana frozen yogurt as a refreshing dessert or snack!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe fruits: The key to an amazing frozen yogurt is using fully ripe mangoes and bananas. Look for fruits that are soft to the touch and have a rich, sweet aroma.
- Freeze your container: For an extra smooth texture, chill your storage container in the freezer before transferring the mixture. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Customize your sweetness: The amount of honey can be adjusted based on the ripeness of your fruits and personal preference. Taste as you go!
- For a creamier texture: If you want an even smoother consistency, you can use Greek yogurt instead of regular plain yogurt.
- Make it vegan: Substitute honey with maple syrup and use a non-dairy yogurt alternative for a completely plant-based version.
- Storage tip: Cover the surface with plastic wrap directly touching the frozen yogurt to prevent freezer burn and ice crystals.
- Serving hack: If the frozen yogurt is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for the perfect consistency.
