Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Greek yogurt plain
  • ¾ Cup coconut milk
  • 6 to 7 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vodka optional
  • ¼ Cup pineapple fresh or canned, crushed and drained
  • ¼ Cup coconut flakes toasted for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the yogurt, coconut milk, sugar and vodka in a blender and blend until well mixed.
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator until well chilled (at least 2 hours).
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into your ice cream maker, and process according to the manufacturers directions on your ice-cream maker. Mine only took about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the frozen yogurt to a large container with a lid and stir in the crushed pineapple. The frozen yogurt will go quite liquid at this point which is normal. Make sure to mix well to avoid any pineapple juice ice shards in the mixture.
  • Cover and place back into the freezer until solid, 2 to 3 hours.

Notes

Drain pineapple well: Extra juice can lead to icy chunks.
Don’t skip chilling the base: A cold base makes churning much more effective.
Toast the coconut ahead: It adds flavor and texture but can burn fast, so prep it before you need it.
Use full-fat ingredients: They create a creamier, richer frozen yogurt.
