About this recipe

Here’s the thing: most store-bought froyo is packed with extra sugar and stuff I can barely pronounce. Making frozen yogurt in the Ninja Creami feels so much more real. All you need is yogurt (Greek-style if you like it thick, or regular works in a pinch), a tiny bit of sugar (or honestly, honey is good if that’s your vibe), and vanilla.
No outrageous prep. No stress about ice crystals messing things up. Just flop everything together, freeze, hit the right button, and you’re set. It’s perfect solo on the couch, but also totally fancy enough for friends.
I’ve tasted a lot of homemade ice cream. This one beats almost all of them. Bold statement, sure. But it’s the tang—you get that real, lip-smacking yogurt flavor. They don’t sell that in tubs.

It’s crazy how creamy this Ninja Creami frozen yogurt turned out—just like from a five-star restaurant. I added a scoop of jam, and my kids gobbled it down before I even got a bite. – Karen M.

How to Make Frozen Yogurt in the Ninja Creami

Here’s how it goes down in the real world (or at least, in my slightly messy kitchen).
Scoop two cups of full-fat or Greek yogurt right into your Ninja Creami pint container. Swirl in a quarter cup of sugar, or you can swap for honey or agave—do what feels right. Toss in a splash of vanilla extract (half a teaspoon is perfect) and stir.
Don’t overthink it. Seal the lid and slide that pint into the freezer. You want it rock solid, so overnight is best.
Once it’s fully frozen, grab it out, pop it in the Ninja Creami, and use the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Sorbet” cycle. Sometimes I re-spin, just because I like it extra smooth. If it’s crumbly, add a splash of milk and spin again. Done.
Pro tip: set out the toppings ahead of time because this goes from boring pint to party real fast. That’s the magic of it, honestly.

Mix-in Ideas & Variation Ideas

Here’s where you get to play. Okay, plain is good…but mix-ins are a game-changer.
I sometimes fold in chocolate chips or swirl raspberry jam right in the middle. Peanut butter? Oh yeah—just let it soften a bit and plop it on top during the last spin.
Try tossing in diced mango or blueberries for a burst of fresh flavor. Want it high protein? Check out other Ninja Creami recipes for ideas, or swap half the yogurt for vanilla protein yogurt or skyr.
Once I even stirred in leftover granola—almost breakfast, right? The sky’s the limit, and honestly, it never gets old trying something wacky.

Why You Need to Make This Recipe

Let’s talk about how to get the thick, spoonable frozen yogurt you always wanted—without the weird mystery ingredients.

Expert Tips for Perfect Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt

• Freeze your yogurt mix at least 24 hours if possible—patience is key for best texture!
