Deliciously Creamy Homemade Treats: Cherry Vanilla Frozen Yogurt & Salted Maple Latte Ice Cream with the Ninja Creami

If you’re looking to indulge in a decadent, homemade frozen treat without compromising on health, then Kalona SuperNatural is for you. Today, we’re diving into two indulgent yet wholesome recipes: Cherry Vanilla Frozen Yogurt and Salted Maple Latte Ice Cream, both made with the creamy goodness of Kalona SuperNatural Organic 100% Grass-fed Yogurt and Kalona SuperNatural Organic Whole Milk.

Why Kalona SuperNatural?

Kalona SuperNatural offers premium dairy products made from organic, grass-fed cows. Their commitment to quality shines through in the richness and flavor of their products. Kalona SuperNatural Organic 100% Grass-fed Yogurt has a creamy, tangy profile that adds depth to your frozen yogurt, while their Organic Whole Milk provides a rich and velvety base for ice cream. These dairy products are minimally processed, meaning you’re getting all the benefits of wholesome ingredients without any unnecessary additives or preservatives.

1. Cherry Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Kalona SuperNatural Organic 100% Grass-fed Yogurt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
• Optional: A pinch of sea salt (to balance the sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Prep the yogurt base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Kalona SuperNatural Organic 100% Grass-fed Yogurt, heavy cream, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed and smooth.
2. Add the cherries: Fold in the chopped cherries. If you’re using frozen cherries, you can allow them to thaw slightly to make them easier to chop. For a smoother texture, you could blend the cherries into a puree before mixing, but leaving some chunks will give a delightful texture.
3. Chill the mixture: To help the Ninja Creami work its magic, chill your yogurt mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight). This step will help it freeze more efficiently and lead to a creamier result.
4. Spin in the Ninja Creami: Once your mixture is chilled, pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container. Follow the machine’s instructions to select the “Frozen Yogurt” setting and let the Ninja Creami work its magic.
5. Serve and enjoy: After the first spin, check the texture. If you want it a bit creamier, run the machine through another spin. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer it to the freezer for a firmer consistency. Enjoy your homemade cherry vanilla frozen yogurt!

2. Salted Maple Latte Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Kalona SuperNatural Organic Whole Milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Optional: A few extra coffee beans for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the base: In a large bowl, combine the Kalona SuperNatural Organic Whole Milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until everything is well combined.
2. Chill the mixture: Like the yogurt recipe, the ice cream base needs to be chilled. Let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and to help the Ninja Creami create the perfect texture.
3. Freeze in the Ninja Creami: Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Set the machine to “Ice Cream” and let it spin until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can place the pint in the freezer for a little longer before serving.
4. Serve with a twist: Once the ice cream has reached your desired consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones. If you’d like, garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or a few crushed coffee beans for an added crunch and a little extra caffeine kick.

Tips for Perfect Results with the Ninja Creami:

• Freezing the mixture: For the best texture, make sure to freeze your mixtures in the Ninja Creami pint containers and allow them to freeze overnight. This ensures that the ingredients have fully set and gives your frozen treat a rich, creamy consistency.
• Adjust the sweetness: Since everyone’s taste buds are different, feel free to adjust the amount of honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners to match your preferences. You can also swap the sweeteners for alternatives like agave or coconut sugar.
• Texture Control: The Ninja Creami lets you adjust the texture after the initial spin. If you prefer a soft-serve consistency, serve it right away. For a firmer ice cream or yogurt, freeze the pint for an additional hour and spin again.
• Flavor Variations: Both recipes are incredibly versatile. Add other mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even swirls of caramel to enhance the flavor. The cherry vanilla frozen yogurt could easily be made into a tropical delight with pineapple chunks, and the salted maple latte ice cream could be turned into a caramel coffee swirl treat.

Final Thoughts

These recipes not only allow you to enjoy a healthier alternative to store-bought frozen yogurt and ice cream but also give you the flexibility to customize flavors and sweetness levels to your liking. Whether you’re craving the fruity zing of Cherry Vanilla Frozen Yogurt or the indulgent richness of Salted Maple Latte Ice Cream, these homemade creations will elevate your dessert game. Enjoy!
