Cranberry Frozen Yogurt

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Cranberry Frozen Yogurt is a healthier dessert since it doesn’t contain cream. Unlike ice cream it’s made with yogurt, yet it is as tasty and addictive.

If you like yogurt based snacks like this, you might want to see our yogurt parfait with fruit and yogurt fruit dip too.

You know yogurt is so beneficial for our body because of the level of protein and calcium it contains. Everyone should be looking for ways to eat it more often. Here I’m sharing one of the greatest yogurt treats that wonderfully matches with this torrid heat of July.

It’s over 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) outside and you just can’t help thinking of refreshing treats in such a weather to cool off a bit and feel like you are still on the beach. No, I haven’t made another ice cream, I wanted to go healthier this time.

I’ve received several emails from my readers asking for a healthy alternative to ice cream. So this Cranberry Frozen Yogurt recipe is for those who are looking for super refreshing healthy frozen treats.

I can’t find fresh cranberries here, so I used frozen ones. Use whichever you find. Also I had some leftover blackberries in the fridge and I just tossed them into the mixture. I think they gave a nice texture to my Cranberry Frozen Yogurt. If you want it smoother, just leave blackberries out.

The combination of yogurt and cranberries is perfect for summer because the tangy yogurt and sweet-tart cranberries help you tolerate the weather. You can imagine what happens when this amazing combo is frozen. No doubt you can beat the heat with it!

I used honey to sweeten the mixture, but not too much to keep it healthy and to feel that tartness. Just taste it and add extra if you like sweeter. You can substitute agave for honey if you can find it in your area or just go with brown sugar if you don’t have worries about weight or health.

Vodka prevents the frozen yogurt from getting too icy, but you can leave it out if you want.

    What's the purpose of vodka in the frozen yogurt?

      It helps the consistency. Frozen yogurt becomes softer like ice cream rather than icy thanks to vodka.

    Are you discarding the cranberry solids after putting through the sieve? Or discarding the liquids? or keeping it all?

      Regular yogurt. You can use greek yogurt but less in amount.

    Could the vodka be left out with the same result?

      You can leave vodka out but the result will be icy. Vodka prevents this.

    I just love these photos! I can imagine the intense flavor this must have, cranberries are so delicious, and so under-utilized.
