🧁 Recipe Spotlight: Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt (No Machine Required!)

Chef Gemma Stafford of Bigger Bolder Baking proves that you don't need fancy equipment or hours of effort to create a creamy, tangy frozen yogurt that tastes like a professional parlor treat. This recipe is a fantastic example of an easy recipe you can make in bulk!

Ingredients for the Base

For the Frozen Yogurt Base:

• 1⅔ cups (400 ml) heavy whipping cream
• ⅔ cup (142 g) granulated sugar (or maple syrup/agave)
• 1¾ cup (395 g) unsweetened Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended!)
• *Optional Flavorings:*
• Plain: 8 frozen yogurt cubes + 2 tbsp unsweetened yogurt
• Chocolate: 8 frozen yogurt cubes + 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp milk
• Strawberry: 8 frozen yogurt cubes + 2–3 fresh strawberries

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Make the Base: Combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 3 minutes).
2. Cooling: Carefully pour the mixture into a spout-equipped jug and allow it to cool completely.
3. Combine: Whisk the Greek yogurt into the cooled cream mixture until completely smooth.
4. Freeze: Pour the liquid base into standard ice cube trays. Freeze for about 5 hours until solid.
5. Flavor & Blend: Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a food processor or blender. For plain, add a little extra yogurt and blend until smooth. For flavors, add your fresh or defrosted fruit and blend again.

🌟 The Rogue Chef Tip: This recipe is incredibly versatile! You can easily multiply the entire base recipe and store it in airtight containers in your freezer for up to a month. This makes it the perfect 'batch cooking' dessert idea!
