The Best (and Easiest) Frozen Yogurt Recipe

The best frozen yogurt is also the easiest to make. It's just full-fat yogurt and sugar, and churns up into a creamy yet fresh-tasting frozen dessert that does justice to all of yogurt's natural tangy flavors.
Recipe adapted from Ethan Frisch.
Why this recipe works:
- Full-fat yogurt brings creaminess and subtle fruity flavors to the frozen yogurt.
- A cup of sugar per quart of yogurt adds enough sweetness and texture to make a product you can scoop just like ice cream.
Note: Some yogurt brands now sell quart-sized containers with less than 1 quart of yogurt in them (they contain 2 pounds of yogurt, equal to about 3 3/4 cups). If you find yogurt with a full, true quart inside, this recipe still works as written, though you can add an additional tablespoon of sugar for even better texture and flavor.
