Serves: 1 pint

Pile this rich, thick frozen yogurt high with chocolate sauce, sprinkles, nuts, and fruit—whatever you like! No ice cream machine? No worries! Place frozen yogurt mixture into a one-quart plastic bag and seal tightly, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place the bag into another of the same size. Finally, fill a one-gallon plastic bag with four cups of ice and one tablespoon of salt, and add the double-bagged mixture. Seal tightly, wrap in a towel, and shake well for 10 minutes. Voila, instant frozen yogurt!

What you need:

3 cups plain soy yogurt
1/2 cup light agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What you do:

  1. Line a strainer or colander with cheesecloth and fill with soy yogurt. Wrap edges of cheesecloth over yogurt until fully covered, and place strainer or colander over a pot deep enough to catch the liquid and keep the yogurt from sitting in the moisture. Cover pot with plastic wrap and let sit in refrigerator for a minimum of eight hours.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine strained yogurt, agave, and vanilla. Freeze mixture in an ice cream machine based on the manufacturer’s instructions. For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately after freezing. For a firmer consistency more like standard ice cream, pack into an airtight container and let chill in the freezer for at least four hours.
