I don’t know if it’s just us, but we have been going crazy for tart frozen yogurt since
this past summer. We know on the west coast, everyone is crazy about Pinkberry but here in
Chicago, we have Berrychill, Red Mango, and Yogenfruz.
Tart frozen yogurt is something where the first time you try it, you’re not crazy about it. We
think because most people don’t expect the tartness at first, but once you keep trying it YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH IT!
There is something just so refreshing about the tart and tangy yogurt and fresh fruit to go on top of it. Not to mention you can have dessert without feeling guilty! Now that’s what we’re talking about!

Last summer we discovered Berry Chill and Red Mango in Chicago. We were so happy and soo sad at the same time. You ask why? Wellll, because we live 40 minutes from Chicago! Our cravings were getting too strong and we had to figure out something else!

Luckily a few months later, we discovered there was a Yogenfruz 15 minutes away from our house!

To make things even better we realized how simple it is to make! So basically we were hooked for good! But that’s not a bad thing, its good to be addicted to frozen yogurt. We think….right??

Take a look at the super easy recipe:
First we mixed 3 cups of greek yogurt with 1\2 cup of sugar. ( The less sugar you put the more tart it will be. With 1/2 cup of sugar it was slightly sweeter than what we get at Yogenfruz, Berrychill, & Red Mango.)

Then, pour it into your ice cream machine! Look at the creamy goodness! YUMMMYY!

While you wait for the ice cream machine to do its thing, you can get your toppings ready.

Our favorites are: strawberries, blueberries, kiwis and most of all coconut flakes!!

We LOVE that the topping options are unlimited! Another good combo is strawberries, mangos, and a drizzle of honey. You can basically mix any of your favorite fruits, and you can even add other toppings like, crushed cookies & chocolate chips.

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) recipe was chosen by Tommi of Brown Interior: Honey-Peach Ice Cream. It’s peachy, creamy, and the honey gives it a smoothness and flavor that totally set it apart from all other ice creams.

This was very easy to make! You just boil your milk mixture and your honey/peach mixture, then blend it all together in a blender and wait for it to chill. Then you put it in the ice cream maker for and hour and then it’s ready!

This is our favorite honey! It’s imported from Italy. We find it to be less sweet than the average honey you find in the grocery stores.
The recipe tells you to not puree half of the peaches and save some chunks of peaches to toss in the ice cream mixer at the last minute, but we personally didn’t want frozen peach bits in our ice cream, so we just pureed all the peaches.
If you would like the recipe, you can find it here. Make sure you visit the TWD Blogroll to see what everyone else thought about this cool, summery treat.
