How to make frozen yogurt?
Hi everyone! Hubby and I want to make homemade frozen yogurt but every time I've tried to make it (we have a cuisinart ice cream machine) it turns out icy and gross. I want something like you used to get at TCBY... a nice chocolate or vanilla. Any suggestions/ recipes? Thanks bunches!

Have you tried adding alcohol?

I had this same problem and have your exact machine. I finally figured out that I needed to use plain Greek yogurt and a splash of alcohol. Here's a recipe for mango blueberry frozen yogurt.
I've also made a chocolate version by melting chocolate with the simple syrup (about a half a bag of dark chocolate chips), adding a couple of bananas to the blender (they keep it creamy) and Kahlua instead of rum. DELICIOUS!

no idea, but man-you just took me back, mentioning TCBY!

No, sigh... all that is around our area is the skinny dip (a not very good pinkberry knockoff). I'd kill for some TCBY. :-)
Thanks for the alchol suggestions... will try it this weekend with greek yogurt.

I had been thinking about fro-yo here lately! I dont make any of that..but I eat tons and tons of regular yogurt and ice cream.. is tre a really good fro-yo from the freezer section?

I expect you could add cream instead of using greek yogurt, or of course drain your non-greek yogurt. You've got too high a proportion of water to other ingredients.

This doesn't quite fit what you've asked for (TCBY-style), but it is a fantastic frozen yogurt recipe:
