Frozen Yogurt from Food Storage

I'm not entirely convinced that I'll be able to generate enough electricity to make ice, in the summer, that is.  I'm not too concerned about being able to make ice in winter.

But I think there is a chance that people will eventually make it happen, and be able to make it happen in quantities sufficient to make frozen yogurt once in a while.  Of course, I would rather make ice cream.  I love ice cream.  Ice cream loves me.  But I'm not too sure how much whipping cream we'll have access to in the long term.

Now, I have to admit, I was very skeptical about making frozen yogurt.  I've made quite a bit of ice cream in the past, and even with an ice cream maker and following lots of suggestions for how to make ice cream creamier, the suggestions never really worked for me.  Our ice cream was usually pretty grainy.

I feared the situation would be worse with frozen yogurt; after all, frozen yogurt has a lot more water in it, and less fat, and yogurt made from powdered milk has no fat.  I thought the result would be very grainy.

But I was wrong!  Amazing!

Frozen yogurt making experts shared that one of the keys to making smoother frozen yogurt at home is to use liquid sugar for the sweetener, and also that because this is a frozen treat, more sugar needs to be used.  Also, using this liquid sugar would make scooping the frozen yogurt much easier, which is really important if you don't have an ice cream maker and are just using your freezer.

It was true!  I made surprisingly creamy frozen yogurt today.  Two batches!!

I followed the recipe for making yogurt that I posted here last month, using the probiotic capsule to make the yogurt, because it made a much firmer yogurt.

To two cups of this yogurt, I added 1/3 cup of corn syrup, but I think a little more sweetener would be good.  Beyond that, the ingredients you add will depend on the flavor you want to make.  Pureed fruits are a really good choice.  Right now I'm thinking chocolate would be good, too.
