Review: Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt by Nicole Weston
❀ Various Techniques
I have always enjoyed frozen yogurt. It is one treat that I always seem to regret purchasing, as it is usually quite expensive. Weston’s Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt describes various devices that can be used to create yummy treats at home. There are even adaptations to the instructions for those that don’t have an ice cream maker at all, which I found quite interesting. So, if you are on the fence about purchasing a frozen dessert maker, this book will give some insight on what is out there, but it is not necessary to own to get creating some of the recipes.
Italian Meringue Method
❀ Meringue Method
The method used in this book to create creamy frozen yogurt is one that I have never used before, but it does give amazing results. The “meringue method” is an easy technique that uses an egg white to give stability to the frozen yogurt. The result is a creamy consistency that doesn’t leave ice crystals. I tried the Tangy & Tart recipe, which I was able to make in about half an hour. It was so simple and used ingredients that I already had on hand, including some added toppings! Honestly, it was just as delicious as my favourite yogurt place.

If the ice creams come out as good as the book cover ones, I’ll be impressed. Any homemade ice cream I’ve ever tried is mushy and never hardens well.
I had great success with this book, actually. I do know what you mean about the mushiness of homemade ice cream. The meringue method and the use of high fat yogurt seem to be the right mix according to this book.
When it comes to baking i’m a total disaster! LOL! Those pic’s looks totally droolworthy!

Awww! Well, I am not a fantastic cook, myself. I do enjoy tinkering with different recipes, though. 😉
I’m not a super good cook or baker but I want an ice cream maker now? Or I’ll convince my mom to get it… she’s better at all that stuff anyway. YUM!
Some of the recipes are super easy! I hope that she does get one because it is such a fun thing to make. 🙂
Yum! Definitely the perfect summertime book and I think it is going to be a hot one, so that makes it even better!
I would never have thought to put egg whites into frozen yoghurt! This book sounds amazing.

My daughter just bought an ice cream maker and her and her husband are trying to eat healthier. This would be a great book for her. Thanks for the review!
This sounds so yummy!
Making some of these delicious frozen treats would be right up my alley as we love them. The yogurt would also be a much healthier choice.
My ice cream maker cannister is currently in my freezer, and I was just thinking this morning I should take it out for the winter, but I’d like to try some of these in my Cuisinart!
It looks wonderful but I’ll have to give it miss. I can’t stop at just one portion and as there’s only me it’d be such a waste!
thanks for your review. oh but I need this here
