Homemade Mango Frozen Yogurt: 3-Ingredient No-Churn Zest


  • Author: jonathan_evans
  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A bright, tangy, and creamy no-churn frozen yogurt made with just three main ingredients: plain yogurt, frozen mango chunks, and a touch of lime juice. This simple dessert requires no ice cream maker and delivers a velvety texture that is lighter than traditional ice cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Let frozen mango chunks sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier blending.
  2. Add yogurt, mango chunks, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice to a high-speed blender. Start with liquids to help blades spin freely.
  3. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy like a thick milkshake.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more honey or tartness with more lime juice if desired.
  5. Pour the mixture into an airtight container, smooth the top with a spatula, and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.
  6. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the firmest texture.
  7. Before serving, let the container sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Use full-fat yogurt for the creamiest texture; low-fat versions may result in ice crystals. If using fresh mango, freeze chunks on a baking sheet until solid before blending. Sugar acts as an antifreeze, so reducing sweeteners may make the texture harder. For a denser texture, use a food processor instead of a blender.
