Can you use yogurt or Greek yogurt for part of the desert? If so, does the yogurt have to be frozen also? Thanks!

I have never tried yogurt but sounds interesting. I'm sure you would have to freeze it as you do everything. Just make sure you freeze the yogurt in small batches so it will go thru the machine without causing any problems. I think I would still try to mix the frozen yogurt with the frozen bananas or other frozen fruit. Don't know how it would turn out if you just put frozen yogurt thru the machine.

The recipe book has several recipes that include yogurt. I made several batches using yogurt and liked the creaminess and dairy flavor. The recipe book suggests using cubes of yogurt that has been frozen. I sometimes just mixed in refrigerated yogurt when I was ready to eat the dessert. I really prefer it WITH the yogurt.

Berry yogurt was just OK, but I preferred vanilla Greek yogurt. I'd like to try coconut and banana flavors also. My favorite chocolate "fix" is to add the mix to vanilla yogurt and eat it like frosting. I also cook one serving size in the microwave.

i never made frozen yogurt but when I put my ice cream in the freezer I put wax paper over the top of the container then the lid. I think this helps

My girlfriend buys plain Greek yogurt all the time because she likes the firmness of the yogurt. After using a yogurt maker she was able to get a firm yogurt that is comparable or even firmer than the Greek yogurt at the store. She does use gelatin and boils it with the milk. Skim milk too (0g of fat) is able to set.

1. Make sure you let it set for at least 10 hours. Sometimes it takes this long if the weather is dry or cool- hot and humid makes the best yogurt!2. You could try adding an extra cup of full fat powdered milk or decreasing the water you add to the mix slightly. 3. The Greek yogurt is naturally the thickest

You can use any milk so I guess it would be okay if it is raw. then yogurt actually "cooks" for'10 hours so I don't guess it would be raw anymore???

Use it as a condiment, not as a meal. You could rehydrate it with milk or water, but it won't taste like store bought yogurt.

I just received my yogurt maker yesterday and would like to make flavored yogurt. Can you tell me when to add the fruit and if I have to cook it first or can I add it raw. Thank you.

Greek yogurt is nothing else than strained regular yogurt. Use the maker to make regular yogurt and then let the extra liquid (whey) drain from the yogurt by putting a cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel in a large bowl and secure with the lid. Put in the fridge and you will have Greek yogurt in about two hours. The maker makes excellent yogurt in about 8 hours. I recommend it.

Yes, just run the holder under luke warm water after you take out of freezer to loosen the yogurt from sides. Works great!

Amazon.com sells it. I saw it when I did a general search for yogurt makers. Thanks for answering my question.

Hmmm... I used frozen yogurt w berries and no bananas and it was fabulous!! Cashews too could make it "creamier" too . So, nope don't have to use frozen bananas if you don't want to !

I make my own yogurt, (using 2% organic cow's milk). I scald the milk, let it cool to bath water temp.-add the starter. Then I cover, and wrap the bowl in a towel and put it in the oven with the light on, overnight. The oven light will get the temperature up to get the cultures going. Strain it in a stainless steel strainer lined with a coffee filter to make Greek style. I've been doing it this way for years. Don't need a fancy appliance-the oven light method works fine.

Hi...so many Greek yogurts are different. I love the yogurt it makes. It is expensive but does make a whole leter. I tried to make my own powered yogurt but failed. I like this so much because it doesn't use electricity I make it on our boat. It also fits on the door of our small boat fridge. Hope that helps.

Tanya, I get a little package of plain yogurt to start mine. It works great. I make the greek yogurt. You will have to strain it to make Greek yogurt. Mine tastes better than the Fage brand. I use2 tablespoons of Fage to start mine, so I can eat the rest. But you can start it with regular yogurt. I am thinking about doing a Youtube about how to do it. I have some great tips that will make it easy to do

Yes I have been making frozen yogurt in it all summer. I have used a great receipe from King Arthur flour. I know odd place for a frozen yogurt receipe but it tastes great. I have used artificial sweetners. Works just fine

Yes. I have made the Lowfat frozen strawberry yogurt and even used less sugar than it called for and it was great. Although it calls for mixed berries, I used frozen strawberries and it worked.
