yummy! Is that anything like an ice cream maker?

[Aisling]

It's similar! :yes Only you don't have to do the whole salt/ice thing. It actually has a freezable cooler thingy that you pour the mixture into, and then it just spins it around in circles with an agitator. I :heart my frozen yogurt maker! :giggle

[Blue Savannah]

That sounds just like my ice cream maker.

So. . . will you tell me how you make pina colada frozen yogurt? That sounds YUMMY! I'd love to make frozen yogurt. We've gotten SO bad about our diet during pregnancy/postpartum. Time to get back on track a bit. :bag

[Blue Savannah]

oops. . . was distracted by my sweet tooth.

Cleaned the bathroom AND the shower AND took a shower AND got dressed. :jawdrop

[Aisling]

-1 carton vanilla (or plain) yogurt
-honey to taste
-2 TB vanilla extract (to vanilla-fy plain yogurt :giggle)
-1 tsp grated ginger (optional, but great if you have a cold!)
-1/2 C pineapple juice
-1/2 C unsweetened grated coconut

Sometimes, I put in almonds, too. You can also put in crushed pineapple. :yum

Blend (I was lazy and just hand mixed today, so I wouldn't have to wash the blender :giggle), and pour into machine! :yum

[Blue Savannah]

mmmmm!!!! must try that this weekend!! :ty

[RiverRock]

Perfect timing to read this thread...I have 2 litres of plain yoghurt that I need to use up. After I put my ice cream maker into the freezer I'll go clean something (and add pineapple juice to my shopping list ;)).
