Skinny Halloween Treat: 4-Ingredient Homemade Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt

The Test:

You'll Need: one cup nonfat vanilla yogurt, one cup pumpkin puree, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, large mixing bowl, freezer and timer or ice cream maker


What to do: Mix the ingredients.  Pretty simple.


Now, either give it a few minutes in the ice cream maker, or stick it in the freezer.  I went for the freezer option since my family doesn't own an ice cream maker.  If you choose to put it in the freezer, be sure to set a timer for thirty minutes and stir every half an hour until the yogurt is frozen enough for your tastes.


Now eat!

Personally, I didn't care for the texture, but it was the best that could be expected without a proper ice cream machine.  As for taste, this was definitely a flop in my family.  I love pumpkin stuff if it's not pie, but I didn't like this.  Out of the four kids, only one likes pumpkin pie, and after a few bites he decided he didn't like the froyo either.

The Grade:


Cool idea, but would probably be better if we had an ice cream maker and/or really liked pumpkin pie.

  1. I'm a HUGE fan of Fro-Yo, but pumpkin has never been my thing, so I probably won't won't be trying it. I would be interested in more Fro-Yo recipes and reviews, though!

  3. Okay, your post inspired me to make some vanilla Fro-Yo of my own and it turned out wonderfully!
    Also, I nominated you for the Liebster award over at my blog! I think you might have already received it, but I wasn't sure, so I gave it o you again.

  4. Hi again! I've actually been thinking about getting an ice cream machine... after going to Menchie's tonight, I think I'm entering the world of froyo maniacs!

    And thanks so much for the award! I've actually not heard of that on yet!
