Ingredients
- 150 g granulated sugar - ¾ cup
- 500 ml yogurt - 2 cup of whole milk yogurt (plain)
- 250 ml heavy cream - 1 cup
Instructions
HOW TO MAKE YOGURT GELATO WITH ICE CREAM MAKER
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt, heavy cream and sugar and mix well.
- Emulsify with an immersion blender to best blend these ingredients. 1 minute on medium speed is enough. You don't need to whip the mixture, just let the sugar dissolve well while mixing the ingredients. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker.
- Let it churn for as long as it takes, depending on the type of machine, to make firm and creamy yogurt gelato. Generally, an ice cream maker with a compressor will take about 30 to 40 minutes. Follow the machine's instructions.
- The yogurt gelato is ready. Creamy and velvety. Serve straight from the machine or place in the freezer in a gelato container.

HOW TO MAKE YOGURT GELATO WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER
- First whip the cream and set aside. Then combine the cold yogurt and sugar and mix very well. Finally add the whipped cream.
- Mix from the bottom up so as not to disassemble the cream too much. Now pour the creamy mixture into a gelato container.
- Place in the freezer for about three hours. Stir with a whisk every 30 minutes during this time. This is to break up the ice crystals and prevent the gelato from hardening too much.
Notes
- NOTE: If you don't have a gelato maker, don't worry! It takes more time (3 hours instead of about 40 minutes) and more work but the result is still exceptional! Let's see how to do it! It usually take 5 hours to make gelato without ice cream maker. Due to the creamy and already thick consistency of the ingredients, it takes less time (3 hours) to make yogurt gelato than for other gelato flavors for which you start with a much more liquid mixture.
