Hi Bold Bakers! Homemade Frozen Yogurt does not mean you have to own an ice cream machine AND you don’t have to mix the yogurt every 30 minutes. By following my recipe you can make Chocolate and Banana Frozen Yogurt in only 5 minutes! Already have an account? My Chocolate and Banana No Machine Frozen Yogurt recipe has just 5 simple ingredients: fruit, yogurt, honey and natural flavors like vanilla. It contains only natural sugars that come from fruit and honey. It’s a great treat if you are trying to lighten things up and cut calories. Homemade Frozen Yogurt can be made on any yogurt you prefer. I use greek as it is higher in protein but feel free to use regular or dairy free. I do recommend plain yogurt with no added flavor. This recipe is fantastic if you find yourself with ripe bananas you need to use up. Just slice and freeze the bananas and then have them to hand whenever you want to make Frozen Yogurt. And remember you can eat this dessert straight away, you don’t have to wait for it to freeze. If you like this frozen yogurt recipe, I also have great recipes for Cake Batter, Strawberry, Mango & Lime, and Pineapple & Coconut.

Add your bananas and the rest of the ingredients into a food processor, blend until smooth and freeze! It could not be simpler. And you don’t end up with icy, hard frozen yogurt. My recipes are triple tested so I made sure the results are smooth, scoopable and delicious.
The honey in this recipe is not just for sweetness; it’s what makes your ice cream scoopable. Sugar in a liquid form is what stops ice crystals forming and keeps it soft.
For Dairy-Free or Vegan Frozen Yogurt recipes, swap out the honey for agave and use a dairy free yogurt like coconut yogurt. Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips
You can make this with fresh bananas but you may need to increase the freezing time. If using fresh bananas, the ones with nicely speckled skins (but not completely brown) will give you the best flavor. We like to use Greek yogurt because it has a higher protien content but any plain yogurt will work. For the creamiest results, use full fat yogurt, but low or nonfat yogurt will also work. The honey or agave adds just a touch of sweetness but also helps the frozen yogurt stay creamy and not icy. For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy yogurt.
