IMPROVISED ICE CREAM MAKER

Some frozen yogurt recipes in this blog would require an ice cream maker. If you don't think its practical to buy one 'cause you're not going to use it that often I suggest you follow the simple fun procedures below. Its great to do together with kids.

You'll need:

  • 6 tablespoons rock salt
  • 1 small plastic bag pint-size (e.g., Ziploc)
  • 1 big plastic bag gallon-sized food storage bag
  • Ice cubes
How to make ice cream:

Fill the large bag half full of ice, then sprinkle the rock salt over the ice. Set aside.
Put your yogurt mixture (see recipes in posts or follow link Chocolate Frozen Yogurt) into the small bag and seal it.
Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
Shake the bag vigorously for about 5 minutes.
Take out the small bag and you'll find that that your yogurt mixture has taken on an ice cream texture, its amazing!
Enjoy eating you nutritious frozen yogurt.

Making your fro-yo this way will not kill most of the live yogurt culture in the yogurt mix this makes it even better than commercially bought fro-yo.
