When my parents lived in South Carolina, my mom and I went to a u-pick-it peach orchard and brought home a large basket of warm, golden peaches picked at their peak. It was a day heavy with humidity, with temperatures well into the 90's. My entire body drooped in the heat, and I couldn't imagine what possessed my mom to want to do this. I may have grumbled a bit.
But once I bit into one of those beauties, I got it. Those peaches, freshly picked at their juicy, sweet peak, were the best I've ever had. And no other peach has ever come close since then.
This is a great way to make your next batch of ice cream without first making a custard. Start with a carton of yogurt! Another frozen yogurt I made this was was this plum frozen yogurt with blackberries. Both of these desserts are perfect for any summer BBQ.
Or if you're in a hurry and/or don't have an ice cream machine, make this easy strawberry sherbet that's ready in 5 minutes once the food processor bowl and blade are chilled.
❤️ Why you'll love this recipe
- Only 5 ingredients plus salt.
- Roasting the peaches first helps make the peach flavors really sing.
- The spices make this taste like your favorite peach pie.
🧅 Main Ingredients + Notes
The secret to faster and easier meals often lies in the ingredients. For example, store-bought items and ingredients you make ahead and store in the refrigerator (or freezer) can turn a 60-minute recipe into a 30-minutes meal or less.
For the all of the ingredients, measurements and directions, go to the Recipe Card at the bottom of this post.
- Fresh peaches - since the peaches are pitted, peeled and then roasted, this recipe is easiest with freestone or cling-free peaches. This means that the fruit doesn't adhere to the pit, making it super easy to remove without cutting the peaches up.
- Honey - I prefer to use raw, unfiltered honey, and in this recipe, a darker honey enhances the caramelized flavors of the roasted peaches.
- Nutmeg
- Cinnamon
- Non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt - you can also use low-fat or full-fat yogurt if you prefer that.

🔪 Recommended Equipment
Having the right equipment for recipes makes prepping soooo much easier. If you want more fuss-free prepping and cooking, check out my updated list of favorite kitchen tools and equipment.
- Chef's knife
- Baking sheet - for roasting the peaches
- Food processor or high speed blender
- Electric ice cream maker
👩🍳 Preparation Tips
- Cool the peaches before adding them to the yogurt. It's not crucial, but it helps the frozen yogurt to set up faster.
- If you like some chunks of roasted peaches in your frozen yogurt, add only two peaches before pureeing. Once the peaches are well mixed in, cut the third peach into chunks and add to the processor. Whirl only a few times.
- Do not use regular yogurt - it must be Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt is too thin to make a satisfying frozen yogurt with some body.
💡Ideas for Possible Variations
- Eliminate the nutmeg and cinnamon for a cleaner peach flavor, or swap the nutmeg for cardamom.
- Use low-fat or full-fat Greek yogurt in place of the non-fat Greek yogurt.

Non-Fat Peach Frozen Yogurt with Honey
Equipment
- baking sheet
- Food Processor or high speed blender
- Electric ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 3 large freestone peaches * See the Ingredient Notes in the post
- ⅓ cup honey divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 35.3 ounce container non-fat vanilla Greek Yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Turn on the broiler and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the peaches in half, remove their pits, and peel them. Arrange the peach halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a ½ teaspoon of the honey over each peach half, and sprinkle a little nutmeg and cinnamon on top. Slide the peaches under the broiler until they start to caramelize on top, about 3 minutes. Flip the peaches over and slide them back under the broiler for another minute. The peaches will be very soft and be lightly caramelized.
- Place the entire container of vanilla Greek yogurt into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade or high speed blender. Add the roasted peaches, salt and remaining honey.Blitz the food processor or blender like crazy until the peaches are completely mixed into the yogurt. If you prefer some chunks of peaches in your frozen yogurt, add the third peach after the first two are completely mixed in and just pulse the processor a few times.
- Transfer the peach yogurt mixture to a bowl and place in the freezer for 2 hours to completely chill.
- Remove from the freezer and transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric ice cream maker. Process according to the directions of your ice cream maker. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.
- Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften, if needed.

Thanks so much CCU!
Helena/Rico sin Azúcar
Looks delicious and very creamy! I made some weeks ago a peach youghurt I expect to post this month.
The Wimpy Vegetarian
I love your food, so I can't wait to see it Helena!
Renee Dobbs
Love peaches and the honey makes it even better.
PS. I love the container. Where did you get it?
The Wimpy Vegetarian
I'm still catching up on my comments, Renee, so I apologize for the delay in responding! I found the containers at my local grocery store, amazingly. As soon as I saw them, I bought 2 packages: one in blue, one in pink. So, so fun to have them to play with since I love to make my own ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and sorbets.

Beautifully evocative, Susan, and a lovely glimpse of your parents. I've been pouring these fruit-yogurt concoctions into popsicle molds and enjoying them all summer long...
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks Laura! It was such a sweet time for them in life. I've been seeing your fruit-yogurt beauties and you've convinced me I need to get some of those molds!
Amy
What a lovely post. Sounds like your parents got to really enjoy life! This frozen yogurt sounds so refreshing. I wish I had an ice cream maker!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks Amy, yes they did. And it's so nice to have those memories of them 🙂
spicegirlfla
I'm just learning all about these sweet tasting South Carolina peaches!! Your story about your parents is very thought provoking. We all need to not wait to enjoy the simply pleasures of life. Sounds like they were able to enjoy their dream for awhile. This recipe is fabulous sounding and very tempting!!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks so much spicegirl 🙂 If you can get some South Carolina peaches, grab them!
Deanna Segrave-Daly (@tspbasil)
Wow - this sound so so refreshing and delicious -can't wait to try it. Enjoyed reading about your parents and their retirement -Charleston, SC would be high on my list to retire to someday, too 🙂
The Wimpy Vegetarian
It's such a beautiful area - I just loved visiting them there. So much history too.
Green Dragonette
Lovely story about your parents and a lovely recipe-great post Susan!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks so much Green Dragonette!

There are so many things I love about this. Not only does it look amazing, but the only added sugar is natural honey and from the peaches, and you use greek yogurt! I have an ice cream maker and will definitely want to make this in the coming weeks!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
It's the healthiest way I've been able to make a frozen dessert yet! And peaches and honey go soooo well together 🙂
Sasha
This sounds so yummy! I have fond memories of peach picking, too, in the Niagara fruit belt. At "Frankie & Johnnie's"... OMG I only remembered that as I typed this, memory is a strange thing!
Anyhow, was going to bemoan the fact that I have never managed to make an icecream maker work for me - but then I've never chilled the mix for 2 whole hours before mixing, either. Hm. Now, instead I'll bemoan giving back the icecream maker...
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Oh no! Yes, I find that if I chill for a couple hours, or even overnight, it really gets a much better texture!
Serena
I was surprised to read just recently that SC grows more peaches than Georgia! Wow! Some day I hope I can visit in peach season! What a great idea to roast the peaches first to intensify the flavor...my kids will go crazy for this...if I even let them know I make it! (:
The Wimpy Vegetarian
I had no idea until I started going to South Caroline to visit them. I lived in Georgia for awhile and had always thought they wore the peach crown. Who knew?? And yes, roasting them gets them nice and soft, it intensifies the flavor, and there's a slight caramelizing of the peaches for added depth of sweetness.
Betsy Honey Badger Eves
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... i love this! it's like ice cream....without the sin!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks Betsy! It's totally creamy without the fat, and just sweet enough without the processed sugar!
ea-the spicy rd
This sounds absolutely wonderful! It has been hot here in San Diego recently, so a bowl of this would do just the trick to cool me off.
The Wimpy Vegetarian
It's been hot here too! Usually July and August are shrouded in cold, damp fog. But not this year!
The Wimpy Vegetarian
Thanks so much Becky! I'm in California, and the peaches here just aren't the same, but in this frozen yogurt they're really, really good 🙂
Russell van Kraayenburg
What an ice cream recipe! This looks scrumptious!
Valerie
You chose the same ingredients as I did for my #peachlove recipe, they're just nice together, love your ice cream!
Mikayla
Peaches and honey are always a winning combo. I like grilled peaches brushed with vanilla and honey. Now I have another favorite cool summer treat with this recipe. Perfect balance of flavors, thank you.
veenaazmanov
The Baked Peach combination with a drizzle of Honey and the Cinnamon and Nutmeg flavor to this delicious yogurt sounds unique. A must try recipe soon.
Bernice
This frozen yogurt was so creamy and delicious it's hard to believe that it's non fat. The flavour of the peaches really shines through in this recipe.
Cathleen
This frozen yogurt is so good!! I have made this twice already this week, and will be making it all summer, or for as long as I can buy peaches. Thank you so much for this recipe 🙂
Megane
What a combo of flavours. It felt very Christmassy. So easy and so yum!
Maddy
This was so good! We love peaches so I eliminated the nutmeg and cinnamon for that cleaner peach flavor like you suggested and we enjoyed it a ton. It was delicious!
Jenny
We love this peaches and honey frozen yogurt dish! It’s perfect in the summer for breakfast, lunch or after dinner. Enjoy!
Jamie
Wow! Another yogurt recipe that everybody will gonna love and enjoy! This looks amazingly delicious! Totally love this dessert and the roasted peach that will bring out the best taste!
Lisa
Ice cream is my weakness in the summer! But this is much healthier over a full fat traditional ice cream recipe. Thanks!
Amy Liu Dong
I have never tried to make frozen yogurt at home. I am glad to find this recipe and I am so excited to make this.
