Description
Creamy, sweet and slightly tangy with a hint of cardamom for that classic mango lassi taste. This frozen yogurt recipe is super easy to make, only 15 minutes of hands on time. The perfect summertime treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups very ripe mango, cubed (about 2 large mangoes)*
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon full fat Greek yogurt**
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons gluten free vodka***
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Freeze Mango: 6 to 8 hours before you want to make your frozen yogurt freeze your mango. Line a large rimmed backing sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Cube the mango and place on the parchment paper so that the mango pieces are not touching. Place in freezer for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
- Make the frozen yogurt: Place all of the ingredients including the frrozen mango chunks into a food processor. Process until creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust flavors as needed.
- Freeze frozen yogurt: You can either enjoy the frozen yogurt immediately as a soft serve consistency or you can transfer it to a freezer safer container and freeze it for 4 to 6 hours. Allow it to thaw for 10 minutes before scooping. Use an ice cream scoop that has been ran under hot water to make it easier.
Notes
*For the mangos you could use store bought frozen ones but I prefer to cut my own because you can cut the mangos when they are really sweet for a sweeter taste.
** You can use any percentage of fat you want for the yogurt, however I recommend using full fat because you will get a more creamy consistency. Also you could try coconut yogurt to keep things dairy free.
***As with all of my frozen desserts I have found that adding a little alcohol to them helps to prevent ice crystals from forming – this really does make a huge difference. You won’t taste or have the effects of the alcohol because it’s such a small amount. IF you don’t drink you can leave it out, just know that ice crystals will form.
Prep time does not include hands off time needed for freezing.
