Best Blueberry Frozen Yogurt with a Sugar Cookie Crumble
I’m loving it with chunks of sugar cookies – great with or without!
Overview:
It’s really quite simple to make Frozen Yogurt!
First, cook blueberries with sugar, brown rice syrup and a bit of water.
Simmer until the blueberries soften and the mixture become syrupy.
Next ~ blend in the carafe of a blender – add buttermilk, then Greek yogurt and you are done!!
Refrigerate until cold and churn.

How can
I make this without an ice cream maker?
Hi Madeline,
It is possible to make ice cream without an ice cream machine.
With that being said – I have a high end self-contained unit works with a refrigerant from Italy that I use.
There are so many models that do the job well from about $60 – $100 (US)
Believe me – once you invest in one, you will be able to create so many delicious homemade flavors and I believe you will get great use out of it. See this method below and take care!

For the freeze & stir method:
Place the mixture in a deep stainless steel baking dish and freeze for 45 minutes. As it begins to freeze near the edges, remove it from the freezer and stir vigorously with a spatula. Return to the freezer.
Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes, stirring vigorously as it’s freezing. If you have a hand held mixer or blender, use one of those. Repeat this process for 2 to 3 hours, or until frozen.
