Sweeter Version: Add an extra tablespoon of honey or agave if your fruit isn’t naturally sweet.

FAQs
How do I make the frozen yogurt creamier?
Use ripe, sweet peaches and ensure you process long enough for a smooth consistency. Adding a spoonful of yogurt can also increase creaminess.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes. Slice fresh peaches and freeze them beforehand to achieve the correct texture.
Can I adjust the sweetness?
Absolutely. Taste the mixture before freezing and add more honey or agave to suit your preference.
Can I use flavored yogurt?
You can, but it may make the dessert sweeter and alter the flavor. Plain yogurt offers the best balance.
What if my food processor is small?
Make the recipe in two batches or reduce the ingredients by half.
Can this be made in a blender?
A high-powered blender may work, but a food processor is more reliable for thick frozen mixtures.
How long does it take to freeze to a scoopable texture?
After blending, 20–30 minutes in the freezer usually gives a perfect firm-but-soft consistency.
Can I use another type of sweetener?
Yes, maple syrup or another liquid sweetener can be substituted, though flavor may vary.
Is this recipe healthy?
It’s lighter than traditional ice cream, made mostly with fruit and yogurt, and contains no artificial ingredients.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, but you’ll need a large food processor—14 cups or bigger is ideal.
