There are some foods that just taste better in the Summer: Trifles, anything with fresh berries, and—of course—ice cream. Stonyfield recently asked their Clean Plate Club bloggers to come up with recipes to kick off Summer. What’s a better way to kick off Summer with Greek yogurt than to make frozen yogurt?
This quickly became one of my favorite frozen yogurts I’ve had. It’s smooth, creamy, and refreshing. I’m sure the block of cream cheese took away some of the health benefits of frozen yogurt, but there’s still a good cup of protein-packed Greek yogurt in there to encourage you to have another scoop.
The ice cream maker I use is a 1 1/2-quart Cuisinart. I got it a few years ago and have used it every Summer, so I highly recommend adding one to your kitchen collection. Make sure to read the manual for whatever ice cream maker you have and follow their instructions for freezing it correctly.
Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt
Prep time: 15 minutes
Freeze time: 2 1/2 hours
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Stonyfield plain Greek yogurt*
- 1 8oz block Neufchatel cream cheese*
- 3/4 cup strawberry jam*
- 1 1/2 cup 0% or 1% milk
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
*These ingredients will be easiest to mix if they’re at room temperature.
Method:
- In a large bowl, beat together the yogurt, cream cheese, and jam until there are no clumps in the mix.
- Add in the milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat until fully mixed.
- Pour the base into an ice cream maker and freeze using the manufacturer’s directions.
- Let the frozen ice cream sit out for 5 minutes before scooping and serving to soften.

Stonyfield wants to give away coupons equal to a free case of Stonyfield Greek and a Stonyfield cookbook to help kick off the Summer for a reader. There are 5 ways to enter the giveaway; I’ll keep it open through next Thursday, June 27th.

Mmmm it’s hard for me to pic just one favorite froyo flavor…..but I think I’ll go with strawberry 🙂
At the frozen yogurt shop, I’m usually a diehard chocolate/vanilla twist fan (though the place down the street from me now has a salted caramel pretzel flavor that’s amazing)
Strawberry is my favorite flavor.
peanut butter is my favorite frozen yogurt flavor! I usually mix it with strawberry and it tastes like pb&j 🙂

I have a bit of an obsession with making frozen yogurt, so I have many favorite flavors. My most recent flavor, however, was coffee with dark chocolate chunks.
The frozen yogurt place here (Yopop) has a coconut like I like with a little drizzle of caramel on top.

YAY! I made it back from vacation just in time to enter 🙂 This recipe looks incredible. I need to make it STAT. I guess it would help if I had an ice cream maker, huh? I’m officially on the hunt, thanks to you.
My favorite froyo flavor is probably one that I just tried at the beach! It was called Kettle Corn, believe it or not. It was salty & sweet and perfectly refreshing.
Thanks for this giveaway, Evan!
