Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month? I didn’t until recently. Randomly, I had a wild hair to experiment with frozen yogurt. I’d pinned a recipe months ago that I hadn’t gotten around to making. So, I borrowed a friends ice cream maker and gave it a whirl. It’s so simple! I wanted a recipe that wasn’t loaded with lots of sugar, so finding this was perfect! I’ve made another flavor that I will be sharing with you soon – and I’ve already got another one in mind that I want to create as well! Stay tuned.
Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt
Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt is simple to make, you'll want to try more frozen yogurt flavors!
Ingredients
- 2 c. plain full fat yogurt
- 1/2 c. milk of choice, I used Organic Whole Milk
- 1/2 c. natural peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. stevia sweetener
- 2 tsp. raw sugar
Instructions
-
Mix together all ingredients until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s directions.
-
Eat right away as soft-serve, or freeze in an airtight container for at least a half hour if you want a more firm/ice cream like texture. You can also use this recipe even if you don’t have an ice cream machine. All you have to do is pour the mixture in an airtight container, freeze, and stir well every half hour for 2-3 hours.
Recipe Notes
[My Two Cents]
If you aren't familiar with stevia, there are many articles you can find online. Basically, it's an all-natural sweetener made from a plant. But, beware, not all brands are created equal. Food Babe has a great article worth checking out if you'd like more information. We currently use the Stevita brand, however we may be making a switch to a more natural extract version.
Also, if you do end up using stevia DO NOT use more than a couple of teaspoons. It is VERY sweet. I accidentally used... a lot more than I should have the first time I made this, it's much better in small doses :)

You can make your own. My husband and I did when we were first married. Take a 1lb coffee can, wash well and put ingredients in. Tape top on. We used plenty of duct tape. Then take a 3lb coffee can, put the 1lb in, ice to surround and cover and some rock salt. Or a bunch of table salt. (it will take more table salt). Tape the lid on really well. Again – duct tape works well. 2 people sit on the floor and roll the can back and forth for 15 – 30min. You want to be sure you do it longer rater than shorter as you don’t want to open the cans more than once. Be sure to wipe the inner can off well so you don’t get salt and water in your ice cream. Turns out really good!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had forgotten all about this method. We’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors this summer, this would be another fun thing to add to the outing!
So delicious! I wish I had an ice cream maker, I have seen so many things I want to make!
