Rich, creamy and delicious Ninja Creami frozen yogurt is easy to make with just 1 ingredient! This frozen Greek yogurt recipe is practically foolproof and great to customize with your favorite flavors.
I absolutely love my versatile and fun Ninja Creami machine! With this one appliance you can whip up any variety of ice cream, gelato, dairy-free "nice" cream, sorbets, and SO much more. Here I'm sharing my latest frozen dessert obsession, Ninja Creami frozen yogurt. It has the same luscious consistency and similar taste as traditional ice cream, but with fewer calories and more protein. Win-win!
You need only 1 ingredient to make this magical treat: ANY flavored Greek yogurt you like! It already has everything necessary to make ice cream, which is basically just dairy and sugar. I like a classic vanilla frozen yogurt, but this recipe works with other flavors like strawberry, peach, cherry, or chocolate.
In this recipe i used strawberry Greek yogurt. Like strawberries? You will also love this strawberries and wine recipe.
After freezing and spinning, enjoy homemade frozen yogurt right from the container, or serve yogurt shop-style in cones or bowls with your favorite toppings. You might consider making a double batch so you've got this delicious frozen treat ready anytime a sweet tooth cravings hit!
Variations
Mixins. Add some great texture and tastiness by throwing a handful of goodies into the frozen yogurt. Select the MIXIN function on the Ninja Creami after it spins, then add in colorful sprinkles, crumbled cookies, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts or candy, or other small treats.
Dairy-free. Use your fave plant-based Greek yogurt alternative to make a yummy vegan frozen yogurt.

Toppings. Basically anything you can mix into the frozen yogurt can be enjoyed on top of the yogurt, too. Sprinkle on sprinkles, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, crumbled cookies, chopped candy bars, or small candies. For a summery treat enjoy frozen yogurt with pieces of fresh fruit like berries or sliced strawberries, pineapple, or peaches.
Pour on some caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, or chocolate sauce. For the full sundae feel you can spoon on decadent hot fudge sauce, add a dollop of whipped cream and some chopped nuts, and finish with a cherry on top. Add banana slices for a banana split-style sundae!
Add a scoop full of frozen yogurt on top of chocolate chip whoopie pies for a delicious treat.
Double the recipe. As-is this Ninja Creami frozen yogurt recipe makes 1 pint. If you have an extra frozen pint container I recommend going ahead and making a couple of batches at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
The manual says that you should not use nonfat yogurt, as it won't blend up quite as creamy. I have not tried this, but in theory you could use non-fat Greek yogurt plus a splash of whole milk or heavy cream.
Yes, you really do need to let the pint freeze for a whole 24 hours before spinning it in the Ninja Creami. This wait period is essential to get that perfect whipped ice cream-like consistency.
The texture might get crumbly if any water got into the pint, which causes freezer burn. Or it could just be that your freezer is super cold and the base is over-frozen. Whatever the cause, simply re-spin the pint an extra time or two until the frozen yogurt is creamy again. It should only take a few minutes to get just right!
Ice cream is made with, you guessed it, cream. And yes, frozen yogurt is made with yogurt. The difference is that yogurt includes cultured milk (fermented) so there is less fat and more of a tangy taste.
The spinning process can warm the base up a bit and cause the yogurt to soften. If this happens I recommend popping the pint back into the freezer for 1-2 hours.
