Georgia Peach Frozen Yogurt

by | posted in: Dessert | 8

It’s hard to believe that peach season is already coming to a close here in Georgia. There’s a reason this state is known for our peaches! A lot of states grow delicious peaches (I admit that South Carolina peaches are amazing), but in my very biased opinion Georgia peaches are the best. They’re so juicy, with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. I’ve bought a million of them already this summer and have eaten them in many different ways. This happens to be one of them!

I wanted to use the last of the wonderful package that Chobani sent me to make something special. Freezing greek yogurt makes for such a creamy, delicious treat–and when you add fresh fruit it’s even better. Juicy Georgia peaches were just the thing to take this recipe to the next level. I also added a little fat to my mixture in the form of half-and-half because I like my frozen yogurt to be like ice cream, but you can certainly substitute that with milk and still have a great frozen yogurt. The recipe couldn’t be more simple! Just four ingredients.

I hope you’ve gotten your share of peaches in this season! I plan to go hoard some more this weekend, perhaps even freeze some and can some for the winter. In the meantime, I have to go take care of another bowl of this stuff.
