Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt

This Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt recipe uses only four simple ingredients, and the results are thick, creamy, and slightly tangy like your favorite frozen yogurt. Ready to enjoy plain or with your favorite toppings!

The Ninja Creami appliance lets you make ice-creams, sorbets, and soft serve with unconventional ingredients! With a traditional ice cream maker you add the ice cream base for a frozen canister that churns the ice cream while mixing.

But with a Ninja Creami, you freeze the entire base and then it chops and blends it up (similar to a blender, but gives a much creamier texture). Other Ninja Creami recipes to try is this Ninja Creami Peach Sorbet, Ninja Creami Vanilla Soft Serve, or Copycat Ninja Creami Wendy's Frosty.

⭐Why I Love It:

• Easy Ingredients - You only need Greek Yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and a little sugar to add sweetness.
• Sweet with a Tang - The perfect balance of sweet for a treat, but with that classic frozen yogurt tang.
• Simple to Make - Just mix up the ingredients right in the pint container, freeze, and blend in the Ninja Creami!

🥘Ingredients

• Plain Greek Yogurt - I recommend using full fat Greek Yogurt for the best flavor and texture. You can use any extra Greek Yogurt to make this Greek Yogurt Flatbread or Healthy Buffalo Chicken.
• Milk - You only need a small amount to give it a smoother texture. I used nonfat milk, but you can use low-fat or whole milk.
• Vanilla Extract
• White Granulated Sugar - Because we're using a plain, unflavored yogurt, we need to add a little sugar to add sweetness.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

📖Variations

• Softer Texture - If you want your Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt to have a softer texture you can add more milk when you do the second spin.
• Add Fruit - You can add fresh strawberries using this recipe for Ninja Creami Strawberry Frozen Yogurt. Or try adding pumpkin puree to make this Ninja Creami Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt!
• Mix-Ins - I love adding mix-ins to my frozen yogurt! Some favorites are sprinkles, chopped fresh fruit, cookie dough chunks, Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or leftover homemade like these chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar), or mini chocolate chips.

🔪Step by Step instructions

Making a frozen yogurt in your Ninja Creami is easy! Just add your ingredients right to the container, mix together, freeze, and blend!

🍽Leftovers and Storage

If you can't eat the entire frozen yogurt pint in one sitting, you have two options for storing:

1. Save for Re-Blending: Use a spoon to smooth out and level the top in the Ninja Creami pint container and put back in the freezer. Freezing with the level top will let you re-spin it in the Ninja Creami when you want to eat it again. This method will give you that same creamy texture. Note that if you added mix-ins, they'll get chopped up when you re-spin.
2. Store and Thaw Slightly Before Enjoying: If you want to free up your Ninja Creami pint container, you can transfer the leftover frosty to another container and freeze. For this method, you won't be able to re-spin it but I find that letting it thaw on the container for a bit or zapping it in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds softens it and the texture is almost as good as freshly spun.

💭Recipe Tips

• Powdery after the First Spin is Normal - It's normal and expected for the mixture to be crumbly after the first spin. The second spin (especially when you add a little more liquid) is when the magic happens!
• The Machine is Loud -If this is your first time using your Ninja Creami, be aware that it is loud when it is spinning. I find the noise level to be similar to a blender. Might not be the best option during nap time 🙂
• Freeze without the lid - I've found that freezing the pint without the lid helps prevent the large peak from forming in the middle. If yours does have a peak, it's okay. You'll just want to shave off some of it with a metal spoon so the top is more level.
