Meal Prep Idea: 3 Ingredient Frozen Yogurt

Make your summer sweet and stress-free with this 3 Ingredient Frozen Yogurt. Perfect for batch prepping, this easy recipe saves time and money while offering a deliciously creamy treat for the whole family.

Ingredients (per batch)

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 quart full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Time-Saving Tips

1. Batch Prep: Double or triple the recipe to ensure you have plenty of frozen yogurt on hand. This can be a fantastic treat for family gatherings or snack time throughout the week.
2. Mix Efficiently: Instead of mixing in one large bowl, use individual jars or containers if you’re making different flavors. This way, you can avoid cross-contamination of flavors, and each person gets their customized treat.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Blend using a hand mixer for about 5-8 minutes until smooth and fluffy.

2. Storage: For faster freezing, pour the mixture into shallow containers. This helps the yogurt to freeze quicker and more evenly.

3. Freezing: Cover each container with plastic wrap to minimize ice crystal formation. Freeze for at least 8 hours or until firm. If you have space, consider stacking smaller containers to save space in your freezer.

Storage Options

• Freezer-Safe Containers: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to keep your frozen yogurt fresh for 1-2 months.
• Individual Serving Portions: Consider freezing in individual serving sizes. This way, you can easily thaw just what you need and avoid constantly opening the freezer to access larger containers.

Serving Suggestions

• Topping Bar: Set up a fun topping station with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or fresh fruit. This not only adds variety but makes for a fun family activity.
• Fruit Blends: For fruity variations, blend in your favorite fruits before freezing. Think strawberries, peaches, or even mild citrus!

Quick Tips

• Allow the yogurt to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping if it’s too hard.
• Experiment with different flavors by swapping out the vanilla extract for others, such as almond or lemon.

With this budget-friendly and simple 3 Ingredient Frozen Yogurt recipe, you’ll enjoy a delightful treat ready to go whenever you’re craving something sweet. Happy prepping!
