If you’re having flashbacks to all those neon lit frozen yogurt stores that sprang up across America in the early 90’s, rest assured that this gelato is very different and truly tang-a-li-cious.
yogurt vanilla gelato with frozen champagne grapes
I first had this flavor at Amorino’s gelato store in Paris. It was a hot day and I was craving something refreshing and slightly tangy. I was in the mood for a vanilla flavored gelato and not a citrus sorbet, so I chose yogurt. My friend at the time scoffed at my decision, “Yogurt? What are you on a diet?” but after she tried mine, she dumped hers in the trash, got back in the fifteen minute line circling the block, and ordered yogurt gelato for herself.
The recipe is simple and accompanies fresh fruit desserts perfectly. I use greek yogurt because I think the flavor and the consistency work the best for this. The only caveat is you need an ice cream maker.

Yogurt Gelato
Ingredients
1 1/4 Cup whole milk
1 3/4 Cup Greek yogurt
3/4 Cup sugar (if yogurt is sweetened, add to your liking)
1 Vanilla bean pod, scraped
Instructions
1. Whisk milk, yogurt together. Add sugar little by little so that you can taste the sweetness and mix to your liking. Some yogurts have more tang and some have added sugar. Mix until sugar is dissolved.
2. Split vanilla bean pod in two and scrape seeds into yogurt mixture with the back of a knife tip. Mix well.
3. Put yogurt mixture into ice cream maker and follow machine instructions.
4. Voila! C’est tres facile, non?
Yogurt from Amorino’s is my all-time favourite ice-cream on this world !!! Guesss I am lucky to move to Paris soon (j-7), to be able to enjoy it every day….
Hmmm…looks like you didn’t get to taste Il Labatorio di Gelato’s Greek Yogart ice cream when you were on the Lower East Side? You would have to throw away Amorino if you did IMO.This looks deliscious!
good recipe, but the vanilla takes away some of the freshness. I actually had a good, very good yoghurt gelato in paris, but not at ammorinos or whatever it is called. It was a fancy white spot in the Jewish area, called something like pozetti? or pozzettos. I am not very good with names. It was served with a blackberry sauce on top. Delicious!! really tasty and light, not like the ones we get in the States
Is this the gelato that’s found in Italy? I’ve never had icecream in Paris (may have had eyes for other dessert), but I always look forward to eating yogurt gelato in Italy. I’ve only found this icecream in Berkeley, CA at Gelato Milano. If you know anywhere in San Francisco or peninsula, it would be a great push for me to leave Berkeley and live in SF or peuninsula.
Otherwise, I hope I can make yogurt icecream myself with your recipe so I can live wherever.
Thank for putting the info.
