When you make frozen yogurt and keep it in the freezer (in a covered bowl) is it possible to keep the same soft texture as the store ones?

I haven't prepared frozen yogurt yet, only ice creams and the texture is much better tan bought at a store.

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

It does not get hard in the ice cream maker, but I think you could put it in the freezer for a while if you wanted it to be harder. In my experience, once put in the freezer for too long (as in overnight) though it can get too hard and has to be softened.

I have not frozen mine, as they keep fine in the pantry before an expiration date. I would hazard a guess, that the texture may be compromised somewhat.

I put a very thin layer in a dish in the frig (not freezer). It got thicker, but did not harden. However, when used in a vinaigrette, the oil portion of the separated mixture does harden and become whitish. I hope this helps.

I have stored in my pantry with no problems the temp. is between 72*-80* my yogurt has been as good ever. I am not sure if this is a correct way of storing.

Yes, I froze it all the time, in small servings. It does mess with the consistency a bit; I was blending it in smoothies and it wasn't a problem.

You can keep the freezer bowl in the freezer all the time. Once it is frozen it will be ready whenever you are to make some delicious ice cream. Do you need an extra bowl. I purchased and additional one when I purchased the ice cream maker, but do not need it since we are not eating ice too much any more. I've only used it once, so it is in great condition. Contact me at carol4348@yahoo.com if interested. Thanks.

Hi - you can freeze it, but I never have and the packages last for months. Once opened, if kept in a plastic bag, they last longer than regular bread also, but you'll want to use it up as if it is regular bread.

You can leave it in the freezer all the time and it will not freeze solid. It stays soft and pliable. Do put it in a plastic freezer bag.

Say friend, the problem is the freezer temperature is not low enough. You need at least 0 Deg. for the bowl to freeze up. We had the same sad faces when we first tried. Used a good thermometer and adjusted freezer temp. until 0 Deg. was reached. Might take about 24 hours to get it adjusted, but it is worth the effort. If results are not as stiff as you like, put ice cream in another container and return to freezer to make ice cream harder. Machine does make soft ice cream. We use small covered bowls. Hope this information helps. It is a good machine.

I have stored it overnight, however, what I usually do is cool what is left over in the refrigerator, then I cut it into pieces and wrap in plastic wrap then place into a freeqer bag. I have been doing this and it is always delicious. Good luck, Andi

Would refrigerate after mixing for about the same time period as normal yogurt. Can't guarantee that it is organic.

I have not used mine in the freezer. They appear to be made from a very high quality, rigid plastic. I am not sure what the cold would do to the seal on the lid, or to the clear plastic. Frankly, I prefer Ziploc Freezer bags for anything I have to freeze. I press the air out of the bag to better preserve the food, and also to help it fit better by taking less space. I believe the Oxo containers would take up too much room in the freezer, personally. That space is always at a premium.

I made blended raspberries and vanilla yogurt together and was pleasantly surprised how tasty they were. When you thaw them out just run them under warm water for 2 to 3 seconds and they come out nicely. I have not froze yogurt by itself but I am sure it would be fine. The portions are nice also!

No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question... No, i don't believe it can. It has a tiny little freezer section in the top corner but that only freezes enough to make ice. If you were to put ice cream in either frig or freezer it might stay really cold and formed but it will become very very soft like it was slowly melting or something. but ice cream bars seem to stay frozen in the freezer part (bars like ice cream snickers or just regular candy bars,butter,ice) things of that nature.Well, i hope i was of some help to you with this reply. Feel free to ask anything else you need to know about my experince with this purchase. I'm happy to help. No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question...

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

Neither. It makes a smoothie texture frozen desert, but you'd be lucky to get anything close soft serve. it's more of a shake mixer. It'll chill the ingredients, but it still needs to be frozen for a few hours inside a freezer for soft serve. Overnight for a hard ice cream.
