Welcome to the world of delicious, sugar free frozen yogurt! Say goodbye to the days when frozen yogurt was just a less exciting version of ice cream. With your blender, some frozen fruits, and Greek yogurt, you can whip up a batch of frosty, sugar free frozen yogurt that's far from boring.
My journey with frozen yogurt has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I used to opt for frozen yogurt over traditional ice cream, thinking it was the healthier choice. Little did I know, both were often laden with sugar. That's why my homemade frozen yogurt is such a game changer. It's not only healthier but also packed with flavor and fun to make.
What sets this sugar free frozen yogurt apart? Firstly, it's homemade – you have complete control over the ingredients. You can choose your favorite fruits and use stevia or your preferred sweetener instead of sugar. Secondly, the simplicity and joy of making it can't be overstated – all you need is a blender and a few ingredients.
To see how simple this is, watch a highly amateur video (learning, please be patient) of the procedure.
The Magic Behind Our Sugar Free Frozen Yogurt
The real magic of our sugar free frozen yogurt lies in its simplicity and the quick transformation into a delightful ice-cold cream. The foundation of this delectable treat starts with just three basic ingredients: frozen fruits, Greek yogurt, and a sweetener of your choice.
To make this frozen yogurt, a blender is indispensable. I like to enrich the creaminess of the yogurt with a bit of coconut oil and vanilla whey powder. To keep the texture just right and prevent it from turning into a block of ice in your freezer, I add a dash of salt and a splash of vodka, which I believe help lower the freezing point.
Toppings can make or break a dessert, and for this sugar free frozen yogurt, they're no exception. For a quick and easy option, I sometimes opt for sugar-free fruit or chocolate syrup. However, when I'm feeling more adventurous, my go-to is a homemade sesame sauce. It's simple: roast some sesame seeds until they're fragrant, then stir in some IMO syrup and a hint of cinnamon if you like. Drizzling this warm, slightly crunchy sauce over the cold yogurt creates a delightful contrast in textures and flavors, elevating the whole experience.
So, there you have it - the secret to making a deliciously creamy and satisfying frozen yogurt that's as easy to personalize as it is to enjoy!
Recipe

Instructions
Frozen yogurt
- Put all the ingredients in a blender, frozen fruit on top. Start blending on slow. You might need a spoon to give it a little push from the beginning. Make sure to do so with the blender OFF. Once it starts blending smoothly, blend for approximately 30 seconds on high or until creamy. Place into an airtight container and freeze or consume immediately.

Hello, MSK!!! If I have an ice cream maker do I still have to go through the egg in the heat proof bowl step? Is there a simpler way to make this yummy treat?
Tisa says
Hi. You're probably asking about making the Delicious Keto Vanilla Raspberry Ice Cream. For the best results, I would still want to follow the instructions. Tempering the eggs eliminates any possible chance of salmonella. But you can always use pasteurized egg products instead of raw eggs. Still, make sure you do enough beating for the creamiest result. 😉

all my excuses !!! I just saw that the conversion does not work when I use the translator ... but if I put it back in English it's OK ...
I have been eating keto for 18 months and have lost 15 kg, and I am very healthy.
But the desire for sugar returns quickly if you are not careful ...
Thanks for your recipes ... can't wait to try the frozen yogurt !!! yum-yum !!!
Tisa says
Ok, great, I'm glad you've got this lifestyle working for you! Keep on going and do keep in touch!
Ann-Marie says
Too bad the metric system doesn't work .... it's not easy for a French woman like me !!!
Otherwise, your recipes look delicious ...
Tisa says
How come it doesn't work for you? What browser are you using? It works with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, when I try it out.
Otherwise, it feels very nice to get compliments from a French! Wish I could make all French desserts keto-friendly!

dear tisa, i don't want to pile on but, i would like you to read this article
https://convenientketo.net/tapioca-fiber-soluble-corn-fiber-imo/
and tell me if you still think that imo is keto. scott.
Tisa says
Hi Scott,
Thank you for the comment and for the link to an interesting article that I would gladly encourage all keto-ers to read. I do try, through my own evolution of creating recipes and doing low-carb/keto, to not exactly encourage readers to use ingredients like IMO. Not in high amounts, at least. Some recipes stay on, where only a tiny amount of IMO per serving is used. In this particular recipe, it is 1/2 T per serving. Most of the time, I do acknowledge it is not a "perfect" keto ingredient and that everyone should decide on their own on using it. Additionally, I even discourage people from indulging in any kind of keto sweets too often, although my site is all about that.
Lately, I haven't used IMO in recipes, and in time, I will clean the outdated ones using too processed ingredients, replacing them with "cleaner" recipes.
All the best!
Adam says
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
If I put it in the freezer, will it come out rock hard, or does the coconut oil prevent that?
Hope your summer is going well!
Tisa says
Hi, Adam!
Well, our home freezers, unfortunately, tend to make homemade ice creams rock hard almost inevitably when left in there for a long time. When I make homemade ice cream, I put a tiny amount of vodka in it (if there are no children around) trying to prolong the time it takes to freeze deeply.
Have a nice summer!
Stephanie says
I used strawberries instead of raspberries I don’t like raspberries anyway but this was the best tasting strawberry guilt free yogurt I had. I also added a few blueberries to it. I skipped the sesame sauce but otherwise it was off the chain!
My Sweet Keto says
Hi, Stephanie! I'm so glad you liked it! It's also one of my favorite quick summer desserts. And yes, I encourage everyone to use whatever fruit they prefer.
Muse says
Ok, you realize you can't actually call it "Sugar Free" if it has Raspberries mixed right into it, right? Raspberries have roughly 5 grams of sugar per cup. Call it low carb ... maybe. Call it "no sugar added" ... absolutely. But it's not "Sugar free" and any diabetic who has to actually watch their sugar intake carefully because it can kill them (and not just someone avoiding it as a personal choice) can tell you that fruit is not "sugar free". Funny enough, food manufacturers used to call stuff with natural sugar "sugar free" until a bunch of diabetic and lawyers got together and sued which is where the term "No sugar added" was born instead.
My Sweet Keto says
You are right, hardly anything is sugar-free. A cup of Greek yogurt has around 8 grams of sugar, did you know?!
With all the respect for the diabetes patients, I hope that such misleading information hasn't made them follow a recipe like this.
Li says
Muse - do you have an online recipe site? Or anything you’ve created and shared? Maybe we could all go and pick holes in it.
