Black Forest Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream Recipes

BLACK FOREST FROZEN YOGURT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Be sure that your ice cream maker bowl is in the freezer or being prepped according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• In a large bowl, combine yogurt, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla. Taste for sweetness, and add as your tastes prefer. (We opted for more of a dark chocolate flavor with just enough sweetness to smooth out the edges of the cocoa powder.)
• Combine mixture well with a wire whisk until smooth. Cover and let refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour until thoroughly cooled. (We found that since the yogurt mixture is so thick, it worked best for us if it was as cool as possible before we started the freezing process.)
• Remove yogurt mixture from the fridge and freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions. (For us, it took the max time recommended - 40 min - to thicken up properly.)
• Once ice cream has begun to freeze and thicken to a soft-serve consistency, turn off your machine. Transfer ice cream into a large, freezer safe container, mixing the cherries and chocolate chips in with the ice cream as you go.
• Place mixture in the freezer for 1-2 hours before serving to allow for final setting up.
• After this initial setting up, if you have leftovers you are keeping for delicious dessert later; remove the ice cream container from the freezer 10-15 min before serving to allow to soften slightly.
