The Best Frozen Yogurt

The people of DC love frozen yogurt like Paula Deen loves butter, y'all. A flurry of fro-yo spots have emerged over the past couple years, and I've heard them debated more fiercely than the midterm elections (and this is Washington, DC). Personally, I'm partisan to Mr. Yogato. But the best frozen yogurt I've ever had? It came straight from my kitchen. And it's insanely simple too.

The secret to truly epic fro-yo is just the right balance of tangy and sweet.



I've had good results using this plain yogurt from Whole Foods. Any whole milk yogurt will do, but I prefer the really creamy ones. Feel free to recommend yogurt brands in the comments.

Recipe:

2 1/2 cups whole milk plain yogurt
1/2 cup sugar

Combine yogurt and sugar in blender. Pour into ice cream maker and churn.

Easy, huh?

Note: This recipe is best served fresh from the ice cream maker. Because of the relatively low fat content, it hardens in the freezer and can end up a little icy once it thaws.
