Mango and Lime Frozen Yogurt (No Machine)
Description
This mango and lime frozen yogurt starts with frozen mango pieces combined with plain yogurt, honey or agave nectar for mild sweetness, and fresh lime juice. Blended thoroughly in a food processor, the ingredients form a creamy, lump-free mixture. Folding in lime zest provides an additional citrus note enhancing complexity. The mixture is then transferred to a container and frozen for at least six hours to develop a firm yet creamy texture.
The tropical mango lends natural sweetness and smoothness, balanced by the tart lime juice and subtle honey. Using Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, though other plain yogurts work as well, influencing texture and flavor accordingly. Freezing overnight ensures a scoopable consistency without ice crystals.
This homemade frozen yogurt is a convenient treat during warmer months that requires no ice cream maker. It can be stored frozen and served as a dessert or refreshing snack. The lime zest folded at the end keeps a fresh citrus bite once frozen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) Mango frozen
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) PLAIN yogurt Greek, non-fat or full fat
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- lime zest of 1 fresh
Notes
- Use frozen mango for best texture, especially outside peak mango season; fresh mango may require longer freezing.
- Greek yogurt is preferred for higher protein and creaminess, but any plain yogurt works.
- Full-fat yogurt gives the creamiest result; low or nonfat options also work if desired.
- Honey or agave nectar helps retain creaminess and adds slight sweetness.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute non-dairy yogurt.
- Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving; keep frozen up to 2 weeks.
