    Fat-Free Peach Frozen Yogurt with Honey

    August 3, 2012 39 Comments

    Fat-free frozen yogurt churned with juicy roasted peaches and sweetened by honey. Roasting the peaches bring up the peach flavors beautifully! Optional warming spices reminds you of a summer peach pie.

    • Non-Fat Peach Frozen Yogurt with Honey

    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.

    ❤️ 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.

    Equipment

    • Chef's knife
    • 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.

        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.

      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!

      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...

      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! (:

        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.

      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.
