4.7 from 149 reviews

This homemade Nectarine Frozen Yogurt is a refreshing and healthy dessert made with ripe nectarines, lemon juice, and creamy Greek yogurt. It offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, ideal for a cool treat on warm days. The recipe is simple, requiring just a few ingredients and an ice cream machine, resulting in a smooth and creamy frozen yogurt that can be enjoyed immediately or frozen for a firmer texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 lb sliced nectarines (skins on or peeled, as preferred)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Dairy

  • 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt (can substitute with full fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Nectarine Puree: Place the sliced nectarines and lemon juice in a food processor. Puree until smooth. If you left the nectarine skins on, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids or skin pieces, resulting in about 2 cups of smooth puree.
  2. Mix with Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the nectarine puree with the Greek yogurt, stirring well to blend evenly. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to cool properly.
  3. Churn the Frozen Yogurt: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream machine. Process according to the manufacturer’s instructions; typically, this takes about 15 minutes for the frozen yogurt to reach a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Serve or Freeze: Enjoy the frozen yogurt immediately for a soft texture, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it for a firmer consistency. Before serving from the freezer, let it soften slightly at room temperature for easier scooping.

Notes

  • Peeling the nectarines is optional; skins may add a slight texture but straining can remove skins if preferred.
  • The lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness and prevent the nectarines from browning.
  • Using full-fat Greek yogurt will create a richer, creamier frozen yogurt.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can place the mixture in a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth and frozen.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer up to one week for best quality.
