Ingredients
This only has two simple ingredients.
- Seedless watermelon
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Cooking/Kitchen Supplies:
- Mixing bowl
- Large resealable plastic bag
- Blender or food processor
- Mixing spatula
- Freezer safe container with lid
Directions
The entire recipe is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. But here’s a really quick overview of how to make it, along with some helpful tips.
First, you need to cut up the watermelon into cubes and freeze them. I suggest placing them in a bag because might freeze to a bowl.
Once the watermelon is frozen remove it from the freezer then place half of it in a blender (or a food processor). Blend it until the fruit becomes a bit grainy. If the watermelon is still chunky, blend it a bit longer.
Next, add half of the yogurt to the blender. Blend it slowly until it has a creamy consistency.
That’s it! Keep repeating these steps until you use up the rest of the watermelon and yogurt.
The Greek yogurt gives it a creamy texture that tastes and feels just like soft-serve ice cream.
After you use up all the fruit and yogurt, keep it in the freezer until you are ready to eat it.
Storage and Serving Suggestions:
Your Creamy Watermelon Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt can be left in the freezer longer than an hour; however, you will need to allow it to soften before serving.
Simply add a few inches of warm water to your sink or a larger container then place the freezer container into the water to soften.
