Really Low-Fat Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

KLHquilts's Note:

This is as close to nonfat as chocolate frozen yogurt can get. If you're on Weight Watchers (or any other weight-management program) and you're dying for chocolate, this is a reasonable choice. And it's yummy!

• Total Time: 24 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 24 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1 quart nonfat yogurt (plain, nonfat, Greek strained yogurt makes it really rich)

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In bowl or food processor, combine all ingredients until sugar dissolves.

4. Transfer to ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

I highly recommend using non-fat non-sugar vanilla yoghurt, that way you don't have to add sugar to the recipe since the vanilla yoghurt is quite sweet :-)
This is My favourite frozen yoghurt recipe, tastes just like a nice rich chocolaty ice cream! But the great thing about is that there is neither chocolate nor cream in this recipe!

Yup yup! Non-fat Greek yogurt is the way to go, just awesome! I use a mixture of Splenda and Stevia herb to sweeten, in place of the sugar. I portion this out and freeze it in tight containers for later. When I want some, (which is every night, ha) I take it out of the freezer about an hour before I will eat it. It softens up just fine.
