Instructions

Prepare the Peaches
Begin by draining the peaches, making sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the juice. This juice will help blend the peaches and yogurt smoothly, adding a subtle sweetness to the mix.
Blend the Peaches
Place the drained peaches into a blender. For easy clean-up, a hand-held immersion blender works wonderfully for this step. Blend until the peaches are fully pureed, with a smooth consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the peaches a few times until the desired consistency is reached.
Combine Yogurt and Sweetener
In a large bowl or measuring cup (preferably 4 cups), combine the pureed peaches with the yogurt, reserved peach juice, and Splenda. Stir until everything is well combined. Using a hand-held blender is an efficient way to blend these ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-mixed.
Freeze the Mixture
Pour the yogurt mixture into the bowl of your electric ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and let it churn for about 25-30 minutes, or until the frozen yogurt reaches a thick and creamy consistency. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific ice cream maker.
Optional: Firm Up in the Freezer
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the frozen yogurt into a plastic container and place it in the freezer for an additional 2 hours to harden further. This step is optional, as the yogurt will already be frozen to a scoopable consistency after churning.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once your frozen yogurt has reached the desired consistency, it’s ready to serve! Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy a light, diabetic-friendly treat that everyone will love.

Tips & Variations

For a Richer Texture: Swap the low-fat yogurt for full-fat yogurt if you desire a richer and creamier frozen yogurt.
Add-Ins: Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or a few dark chocolate chips to the mixture before freezing for added texture and flavor.
Non-Diabetic Version: If you’re not concerned about sugar intake, you can use regular sugar instead of Splenda and increase the sweetness to taste.

This frozen yogurt is a fantastic dessert option for anyone, especially those looking for a lower-calorie, lower-sugar alternative to traditional frozen yogurt. Perfect for kids, adults, or anyone looking to enjoy a refreshing treat with less guilt. Enjoy!
