You know how every Monday I come here and gush over how amazing Joy is – - I tell you she’s cute and funny … and would make such a great best friend.
I plead that you should go out and buy her cookbook, because I read it as my bed time story
every.single.night.
to make sure I have sweet dreams.
Well, nothing is different this week, except – - I’m here to bring you my new-found love affair.
Sunday night got hot and heavy – - you heard me, it was an intense ménage a trois!!
Me
Strawberry Cookie Dough Frozen Greek Yogurt
And A spoon.
HOT HOT HOT
Please tell me you want in on this action!!
If frozen yogurt doesn’t get you hot a bothered, Joy made Strawberry Cookie Dough Ice Cream in her book – - get to know it.
I knew just reading the title alone I would be in BIG trouble if I made a batch of the ice cream.
So I made a couple of adjustments, ( just so I would feel okay about getting personal with it
lol).
I made frozen Greek yogurt instead.
Creamy – YES . Rich – YEESS . Healthy – SUREE.
I doubled the strawberries and diced them into small pieces. Fruit = health food. Added fruit = more FroYo for me :D
I halved the cookie dough – but cut them in tiny pieces so I still got tons of cookie dough in each bite.
It’s all about tricking yourself … and it worked.
The verdict: There’s no more yogurt left
For the complete ice cream recipe refer to Joy’s lovely cookbook bible.

helllooooo mff (<– that's my new short-form for my favorite foodie, fyi), why do you have to use vodka to make frozen yogurt. i need some schooling
LOL Sanju, I love you
I find that when I use my ice cream maker and place the finished yogurt in a container to freeze, it always gets too icy. So I added the vodka – since vodka doesn’t freeze – to keep it smooth and creamy. I’m sure you could probably use gelatin instead or agar-agar.
Even this was still a little icy, so next time – I may add a little more vodka, plus you don’t taste
It’s so it won’t freeze into a rock solid state. =)
So true!! Stephanie, do you find the same thing happens to you? – how do you get around it?
