Papaya and banana frozen yogurt

Papaya and banana frozen yogurt blends ripe papaya and banana with yogurt, honey, and orange juice into a smooth, refreshing frozen treat. The tropical fruit flavors lend natural sweetness and creaminess, and the option to use an ice cream maker or a mixer with freezing cycles creates a soft-serve style texture. It can be served topped with fresh fruit for added freshness.

Ingredients

  • 1 papaya peeled, seeded and cut in chunks, medium sized, ripe
  • 2 banana peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups PLAIN yogurt
  • 3-4 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
  • orange juice from 1 medium orange
To serve
  • Fresh fruit

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender to obtain a smooth puree.
Using an ice cream maker
  1. Pour the papaya and banana yogurt puree into the ice cream maker and prepare it according to your ice cream maker’s instructions.
  2. Once it’s ready place the frozen yogurt in a freezer friendly bowl and let freeze for 1-2 hours before serving.
Using a mixer or blender
  1. To prepare the frozen yogurt without an ice cream maker, place the papaya and banana yogurt mix in plastic or metal freezer friendly container and freeze for 1 hour. It should be semi-frozen, but still somewhat soft.
  2. Remove from the freezer and use an electric mixer to soften the mix or place it in the blender and mix (make sure your blender is powerful enough to blend frozen foods). Return to the freezer and let rest for another hour, then repeat the process for 3-4 times or until you’ve achieved the desired smoothness. Let the frozen yogurt “ripen” in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving.
  3. Serve the papaya and banana frozen yogurt with slices of fresh fruit.
