I have tried making my own frozen yogurt for years but have not liked the way the texture of it turned out. I continue to buy it by the pint from a ice cream shop, but hope to one day find someone that can show me how to make the same soft, smooth and creamy yogurt one finds in the shops. Thanks to Nicole Wesson I can now make my own frozen yogurt that is just as good and sometimes even better than that which I bought before. I especially like my fruit flavored ones.


Ms. Wesson even goes so far as to tell you how to make your own yogurt. She also shows you how to make Greek yogurt that is all the rage these days. I loved her method of using my ice cream maker. She does have a technique for making it without one if you do not possess one. You will be shocked as was I to find how rich and creamy your yogurt taste. If you did not know better you would believe it bought from an ice cream shop.


If you love frozen yogurt as much as I do you really must check out this book. Your dessert fix will soon be a lot cheaper and using the recipes as a basis to create your own flavor combinations.

I received an ice cream maker for my wedding 11 years ago and have dabbled with making ice cream, gelato, and frozen yogurt. Most books on how to make ice cream have a small section about making frozen yogurt. I have tried a few and have never been satisfied. It comes out too tart and two hard.

So I was intrigued when I came across Nicole Weston's book - wow, a book dedicated to frozen yogurt. I read through the opening chapter and was convinced that I had to try making it again. Weston's method of folding in an Italian meringue into the base is brilliant.

I was thrilled by the results. I found Weston's recipes easy to follow. Making the Italian meringue was simple and straightforward. I decided to make a tropical fruit frozen yogurt and it was delicious. My husband thought that it was ice cream. I had to tell him twice that it was frozen yogurt. And my 4 year old son loved it too. I also made one of the chocolate frozen yogurt recipes and it too was a success.

The book has 56 recipes and I am looking forward to trying more. In particular, lemon meringue, orange creamsicle, and nutella. This book is going to revolutionize my frozen treat making habits!

*** I have received an ARC via NetGalley ***

Wow, I didn't know that Frozen Yogurt was versatile like that, the 56 recipes are well balanced: your every day treat, special happenings like birthday parties or holidays.
It was a bit heavy on sugar and sweeteners - I'd have preferred more sugar free recipes, only with natural, fruit sugar, but I did find those recipes inspirational and unique (Earl Grey, yum!)!

The Matcha Green Tea Frozen Yogurt will probably be one of my favorites... and Mocha.

I know that this book is an ARC and pictures and artwork are going to be added on a later date, but I found it difficult to flip through the book because there were no pictures at all.
I do realize that re-creating the recipes myself will produce a different, probably not so polished/cover worthy Frozen Yogurt ;) but please, I want and need something for my eyes when I'm going through a book with recipes.
I almost felt like reading a diary or a novel at some point.

I am all about learning how to make new foods at home and this book fit into that equation. Since it came into my life as an Advanced Reader Copy, I understood that there would be some elements that I did not see that would end up in the final version.

Weston takes the reader on an exploration of the different ways to make frozen yogurt after first introducing her journey into DIY froyo. All of the recipes look absolutely delectable, however, there are only sketches within the book and there are no photos of any finished versions of these recipes. Come on now, I would love to see what Earl Grey frozen yogurt would look like when done! For that fact, I appreciate this book for what is supposed to do in showing how to make a variety of frozen yogurts, however I genuinely feel like a book on food is not as effective if I can't see what it would look like in the end.

Found this at the library. Intrigued by the recipes but daunted by the fact that all the recipes include meringue-style egg whites, which is not something I've prepared (for froyo or otherwise) before.

Frozen yogurt is still a dessert and as the author points out, sugar is needed for texture as well as being a sweetener. I'll be interested to try some since we always have greek yogurt around and when we make ice cream we tend to go more ice milk than heavy cream for taste.
